Merit Increases

[anonymous]

Nope, not a manager. I was a direct report whose career was damaged by a bully manager.

If your management doesn't like you, why would you continue to work there and not look for a new job elsewhere?

I’m not the target of this but I’ve seen it happen to other people since I started here. I said something once and got the cold shoulder for a couple of months. It concerns me because HR doesn’t appear to do anything even when a manager had documented issues or a history of vindictive behavior and it can happen to anyone without ever knowing why.

Sounds like you are justifying the bullying a lot of managers engage in. Are you one of those managers? If so you how many careers of direct reports have you damaged because they disagreed with you or you just didn’t like them? This is the reason J&J can’t compete anymore.

I have damaged innumerable careers. I share their stories while at my home in Moultonborough. Salud.

Just heard that it’s back to 3% target this year. Better hope the stock market keeps going up…

Target is 3.7 percent this year

Management is pushing merit increases and bonuses down for cost cutting measures. Do you think they will lay off 20,000 people then give big $$$ to the rest? Not logical. All about $$$, accept it. CREDO is done.

I mean, they did a huge 120% enterprise bonus after big layoffs last year…

Yes they did although it was not 20,000 people in 2023. Let’s see if they do 120% again. Sure hope so.

Yes 120 or 130 would be amazing this year....I doubt it happens though...feel like we'll be lucky to get 100% this year.

Everyone is expecting 130% again to offset low ratings. Need to get the CREDO scores back up after layoffs in 2024. Otherwise all employees will lay down. Need J&J union.
