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.


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.


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


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.


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.


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.


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
