    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.

        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.

      I had something similar! But my manager was a former dev that I worked for that didn’t know how to manage and tried to convince me that I didn’t deserve it.

      I got a 30% raise moving elsewhere.
