That’s literally every company.
As a manager, you get frustrated because no matter how good an employee is,they won’t let you rate them as high as they should be, for…reasons.
Psst!
Its because they don’t want to raise their pay, and also want the employee to blame themselves for not getting the pay raise/promotion instead of their greedy employer.
But don’t tell anyone. Its a secret!
another reason I heard is it’s also another tool to give the company wiggle room to say they’re not in the best state they could be, that there’s still room for growth. under the current system, companies have to keep growing and keep appearing to have the potential for growth, or die
I was actually told during a review that they couldn’t rank me higher because then they’d have to give me more money. My boss said I deserved it, but they didn’t have the money to give it to me.
I started looking for a new job that day.
And yet they always seem to have enough money for executive bonuses and excursions…
Used to work for CenturyLink. The year they took away our Christmas bonus is the same year the company really took a nosedive.
CEO got a 20 billion million dollar bonus, enough to cover our Christmas bonuses and still give him 15 million.
Slave must work hard but slave must not be rewarded for that labour… That’s holy profit and it belongs to shareholders after top execs get their cut obvi.
This is why every day more people are finding out that providing good service is for idiots who have no self respect.

The priest caste of capitalism - the economists - do not understand why lowly humans will not sacrifice their lives to the Great Eternal and Unaging Corporations.
