Am I right to be annoyed by how this all played out?
September 2019- my manager (a VP) gets laid off. I was ecstatic as he was a horrible micro-manager and his manager (Big Boss) knew my feelings on the matter.
October 2019- A director on another team leaves. His manager (a VP) asks me if I am interested in the role. Says he thinks it would be a perfect fit for me. I agree and am very excited about the new opportunity. I speak to Big Boss and ask him if this is a promotion (with job grade & pay increase) and he says for now its considered lateral promotion but as long as I prove capable in due time I will get true promotion. I am ok with this. New role has me managing team of people for first time + more responsibilities.
November 2019- Annual review time. Since my old manager was laid off and new manager only managed me for one month, Big Boss gives me final rating.
December 2019- I complete a project with a 12/31 deadline that I jumped in for that the old director was doing. Save my new manager's bacon. Hes very happy!
February 2020- I get final rating. I am rated an Effective Contributor. The year before I was rated as Highly Effective. Pretty pissed. New manager said he wasn't responsible for rating and basically disagrees with it and I was basically lost in the shuffle with all the changes. I ask to speak to Big Boss. I say to Big Boss how I don't understand how I got a lateral promotion with more responsibilities yet in the same breath they say I did worse work last year than the year before. Big Boss basically gives me some dumb reason and says he thinks I am doing a great job and have tons of potential. Also, says no promises, but he is working on getting me the real promotion. Im not holding my breath.
So due to lower job rating than the year before and no increase in salary, I will officially make LESS money this year than last year AFTER a promotion. I've been pissed about this ever since.
