My annual review was conducted last week. I've worked at the company for just under a year, and because it was a career switch, I took a position beneath my experience level. My expectation was that I'd move quickly through the ranks after proving my competence and constantly striving to create value.

Over the course of the year, I moved up from an analyst role to a position managing several people on an IT project. I've received nothing but praise from managers and peers, and so I fully expected to receive high marks, a sizable raise, and possibly a promotion commensurate to my current role. Instead, I received an average rating for my level, no discussion of promotion, and a whopping 3 percent raise. I was incredulous. I can't remember feeling so devalued and humiliated. I tried to argue my case during the review, but it seems the decision had been made. I've been lumped into the mediocre (or below) pile, and there's nothing I can do until next year's review to change it. What would you do if you were in my position?

lol I wouldn't have done what you did in that first paragraph bc that marks you a bitch man

always change jobs up not down

if I were you I'd look for another job bc you're dead ended where you are now

Very much like my job. A '4' is phenomenal, basically single handedly saving the company millions or some poo poo. No one gets that. Most people just get a 3 if they do well, and that's very rare (or you are on good terms with the manager in addition to being able to do your job). 2 is what you are most likely to get if you bust rear end and work hard, but are still a stranger to your supervisors. And the kind of job I do, it's not easy to stand out or be seen as amazing unless you are some super talented genius that clearly doesn't belong at your current paygrade. Annual reviews feel more like a "Why should we not fire you" deal instead of checking to see where you are going.

it's time to realize your value in the marketplace fellas idk what this weirdo company loyalty mentality is of getting the dick year in year out and continuing to work there

For real I'm in pretty much the exact opposite age situation in which I'm 25 and constantly annoyed by the small talk and time wasting of my 30-40 year old co workers.
