My current place did the same "exceeds" on everything, 2% pay increase, heap the praise on and promise me that I will get that promotion they've been verbally promising for months now

i have multiple interviews next week

on an unrelated note, got my annual review status, which was "killin' it" for both productivity and attitude. this translates to a better title and a "2, maybe 3% raise." that's real hosed up, right?

last performance review I got an exceptional review and a junk% raise, so I'm real excited to see what I get this year

why would you be concerned? the cfo now knows you as 'that guy who's really important'

a stated 5% max on raises is a little concerning for next year, or *gasp* possibly even the year after that!


(it means "you should expect ~2%" i.e. keeping up with inflation)
