This year? Only just seen this, but 10+% is what I got based on my performance. (Part of this was I believe was fear of losing people frankly, but I didn't really give them an option performance wise).

Next year... Pfft 3 to 5% based on likely changes in my job role and needing to get upto speed.
 
Working hard all last year, we communicated out a company wide 6% from April, and hopefully will also get quite a few additional merit rises added in September when many deliverables are due.
 
Nowt last year as the union are spineless, but the company did promise a pay rise this year...

All of the comms from higher up have been vey positive, company has come on leaps and bounds, improvements all over the place, much better customer base/coverage and massively positive plans for 2022.

Fantastically appreciative over all of the hard (and extra) work that was put in during the difficulties of the last couple of years.
Well I say appreciative if you're happy with a "thankyou" email every quarter.... Lets see if they put their money where their mouth is
 
I work for a tech startup and am not expecting a big salary increase this year. However, if the company has a fund-raising round this year, I'll be very interested to know what the company's new valuation will be, as that'll have a correlating effect on my shares, less any dilution effects.

Shortly after putting more than 10% I negotiated a 12% increase so can't complain there. That is mainly due to taking on more responsibility though, my firm doesn't generally do inflationary increases.
 
Public Sector Pay has been a pay cut / compound pay cut for the last 18 years minimum just from my experience. Ever since post agenda for change pay re-structure in the NHS anyway. The only thing that keeps people here half the time is the pension, and then gets rear ended every now and then also. Its been made worse 3 times in my time so far.

Ain't that the truth!

2015: £2.5k rise with a promotion
16 - 20: £1k rises.
21: £2k rise with promotion.

My equivalent role in the private sector is £60k - £100k+

But every year my non-contributory pension rises £600pa and my Final Lump sum also increases + currently able to live from home and get medical/dental. If it wasn't for this overall package, i'd be gone.

Have a couple of years left on my current engagement, but will be looking at Private Sector from Mar 2023 (mortgage cleared etc).

Pension contributions was probably the most difficult decision I ever made to leave the public sector.
 
This is the month we get to know our rise. As a department we’ve been consistently 20-30% above target for overall sales and completed orders, over target for our more lucrative services and we as good as propped up the whole department for the first 9 months that we got spun off from the main group. And yet despite all that I’m still expecting less than 4%.
