Their review proccess is likely crafted to ressemble a bell curve with the majority of the employees all getting the same precentage raise: new boss included.
10% of the work force (again bosses included) probably gets 1% more than everyone else, and 10% probably get 1% less than everyone else.
This is most likely how it actual works. So really, reccognition is all his boss can give, and likely all they got.
For Fedex Office (my branch) you can earn up to a dollar a year, assuming your Performance Appraisal is alml "5"s.
So it's like this- two years ago, they announced that NO ONE gets ariase because the econemy tanked. "Not even the CEO!" they crowed- as though a multimillionaire was hurting come rent time.
Then last year they decided that, gosh, since the company is still crazy protitable, hey'll give out a raise...of 2%- to everyone, regardless of performance. So the jackass that was caught sleeping every week and did dick, got the same raise I did.
Nice.
My last raise was all 5's in every category and I even turned down promotion due to a medical issue that I schedule around.
Then this year, we get a new store manager just two months before appraisals (the old boss becoming a distict manager) ...and she gave every person the exact same score and raise- all 3's for everything and -suprise!- a crappy thirty cent raise.
For the record, the cost of living here in south Florida went up over 4% last year and this year looks to be as bad.
But hey, the comments were glowing! She was even upset that I skipped to the end and just signed the thing- telling her that her high opinion means nothing to the bill collectors....and I used to be that employee that went waaay over expectations while so amny other just did the minimum.
But they got the same raise I did three years running so who's the fool, right?
Add to all this that she's eliminated any overtime in the store and I'm projecting making about five grand less this year than last...but she wonders wh the store is losing customers...duh! Pissed off employees equal bad service and screwed up orders, which leads to less customers, less productivity and less money...
