Bonus & Raise
Any rumors on what bonus payout will look like ? I’m over due for a promotion but it looks like this year will be another year of waiting.

How's your raise and bonus?
EMEA Salary raise
So we were told in January there would be salary indexation in February, however still no sign of it, anyone got any info?
Positive Feedback. No Raise. Make It Make Sense.
Throughout the year, I was consistently told that I was exceeding expectations and performing at a high level. My feedback conversations reflected strong performance and meaningful contributions to the team.
However, during my annual review, I received a rating of 3 and was informed that I would not be receiving a raise. This outcome did not align with the feedback I received throughout the year.
Additionally, compensation decisions were not determined by my direct supervisor, who has firsthand knowledge of my day-to-day performance. Instead, they were made by a VP who has only been with the team for a short period of time and has not had the opportunity to fully understand individual contributions.
I have also learned that colleagues who previously received ratings of 5 were given ratings of 2 this year and were subsequently written up, without prior warning that their performance was considered below expectations. All of these evaluation and compensation decisions were made by the same VP.
OptumRx Growth
Any news on layoffs/RIFs? Bonus/Raise? Hoping the Client Management/Sales area is taking less of a beating but I doubt it.
What was your latest raise?
Just trying to figure something out.
Celebrating ten years anniversary of no meaningful raise
Anyone who had no meaningful raise (except one year after Covid) for ten years? Please share your salary growth in 10 years, 20 years
Start looking. It's going to be another turbulent year.
IPO is not within reach.
Net income YoY did not hit targets.
SF, CA office is being abandoned for a new one in Birmingham, AL.
Raises this year are abysmal.
Start looking now. They are willing to let people with years of institutional knowledge go. Let them.
3% Club
Did most people get a 3% raise?
Raise?
Anyone know if 3s are getting any sort of raise this year?
My coworkers got a 4 and she only got 1%.
Stock Together/ Base Pay Increases
Anyone seen BPI yet? Curious to see if Stock together is really gone. No longer shows on open job reqs, VZ benefits external page or in Total rewards.
Will there actually be raises this year? Or will they give people nonsense like 1 or 2% and not keep up with inflation at all?
2025 Annual Reviews
White Cap HR is rolling out a forced‑ranking system.
Leaders are being told they can only give out a fixed number of ratings — one “Meets,” and one “Needs Improvement” — even when all employees actually meet expectations. In this example the leader has two employees.
The problem? Raises and bonuses are tied directly to these ratings. That means someone is being forced into a lower rating (and lower pay) purely to satisfy HR’s quota, not because of performance.
Forced distribution isn’t automatically illegal for private companies, but it becomes a legal risk fast when:
• Ratings don’t reflect actual performance
• Pay is manipulated through artificial quotas
• Certain groups are disproportionately pushed into “Needs Improvement”
• Managers are pressured to create negative documentation
This is exactly the kind of system that has triggered discrimination and wrongful‑termination lawsuits at other companies.
If this is really the new direction, employees should document everything — because HR is creating a paper trail that doesn’t match reality.
am i getting enough. not sure about the raise
been only here for around 1.5 years. no one discusses the raise or im not sure what im getting is the right percentage. Is less than 5% a normal rate? or are we supposed to get more? I know i should discuss this with my manager but they all say im getting the max out of all.
What was your bonus and pay raise? Mine: Exceeded Expectations. 4% raise. 135% bonus.
Exceeded Expectations. 4% raise. 135% bonus.
How many of you got raises this year?
1% raise and only 5% of my bonus, even though I got a 'Leading' rating.
GDP
So, Arvind announced the GDP numbers last week… 0% for low, 3.4% for core and 6.8% for the top. Percentages will go up for 2026 to 5% for core and 10% for the top. That’s for bands up to 9.
Comments?
No raise ?
I didn’t get a raise and have heard of a number of people who are in the same boat. What’s going on? Does TI want us to leave because we are pi---d ? This is a slap on the face, I worked really hard last year
Whats happening with $2billion in the DXC bank
With that amount in the account surely they have enough to give raises. Other companies with nothing can give raises. Whats going on?
How much % salary increase do you get for a promotion on average?
Is there a rough estimate out there on Workday? Going from an entry level role to Senior title? Going from a Senior title to a 'Lead'?
Inflation in the U.S. has increased by approximately 26% between 2019 and early 2025
Has anyone had a pay raise that kept up with inflation?
You were making $100K in 2019 — now you earn $126K.
Solid performance! Over performance! More than projected !
Yet you are not giving at least 50 percent of your associates either no raises or bonuses though their hard work and perseverance has gotten you these outstanding results. Ahh I remember complaining about getting the pizza party now this feels like a pat on the back or a ribbon to pin on my shirt. The RIFS, ERP and lack of AIP and raises you would make people think numbers are not being hit but in the mist of the lack of Moral within you are producing exceedingly high numbers. You should be ashamed that many of your associates have to choose between buying groceries or paying for their high medical bills ,because the only thing they can afford is the HDMP cheapest option. Even a penny short on their check puts them at risk of being homeless or not being able to get a loaf of bread to last them until the next check.
Thoughts & Opinions
How are folks feeling about these cr-ppy raises & no bonuses/low bonuses? Are people planning to stick around ? Do you think you’re getting laid off soon? Things aren’t looking so good right now and everyone from my team is getting anxious
EOY Conversation
Has everyone loaded up their self reviews for the EOY conversations?
Who’s getting the big merit raises this year?
Performance and Raises
Given that I was rated as “met expectations” across the board, identified as a core performer, and am contributing to a high-performing team, I wanted to better understand how compensation increases are typically evaluated for employees with under a year of tenure. I recognize that I have the least tenure on the team and that this factors into current pay alignment.
I also wanted to confirm whether compensation discussions are normally part of the performance review process or handled separately, as it wasn’t covered in my review.
Loyalty doesn’t pay
Four years in and my last raise was only 2 percent, but a recruiter just reached out for a similar job that pays 15 percent more. It’s frustrating realizing staying put can cost you this much. Makes me wonder if loyalty to one company is really worth it anymore.
Raise after quitting
I put in my notice and out of nowhere they offered a 15 percent raise after claiming for ages that budgets were tight. It’s impossible not to question the timing, and part of me wonders if it's worth sticking around at Humana because of it or not. It does bring my pay above the one I'm getting at my new position, but I'm still uncertain.
Any word on bonuses?
I don’t remember the last time we had a bonus 😅 Is there one happening this year? And do we know when it’d be paid out?
Merit
So we have some AIP info, but has there been any discussion as far as merit increases in March?
There will be...
...more heads rolling in OKC than Houston, even after 6 layoffs Devon is still way over staffed by a bunch of su-k ups doing 20% of the work and drowning the small majority doing the other 80% of the work. If this offends you, you must have gotten greater than 2% cost of living increase for being a yes man boot li---r
Raise/ score card
When are we to have our meeting with supervisor to go over our scorecard ? I thought this happened in early February? I see no meeting scheduled .
Average pay increase/bonus based on reviews?
Wondering what’s the “average” pay increase / bonus adjustment for each of the performance categories.
I know this year (and is typically) a let down, but what are the numbers from the low end of “did not meet” to the high end of “far exceeded”?
Merit Raises
With more than 20 direct reports per manager, it will be interesting to see how many merit increases are actually awarded this year. I suspect a lot of people won’t be thrilled.
Annual Increases 2026
Managers, have salary increases been submitted for your team yet? How’s the average increase looking? Baseless rumors will also be entertained.
Specialist Raises
I heard a rumor that specialist will not get raises again this year, just the same b.s. bonuses like last year! Does anyone care about us not even keeping up with the economy? How rich do you need to be Marvin?
Rewards
What is your pay increase percentage?
Pay increases are a joke
They don't even match inflation. With everything put together, morale is circling the drain. And do I trust them to find a competent CEO now? Absolutely not.
Did you get the 2% raise? Market rate adjustment or no raise?
Just wondering what others received. Did you get a bonus?
