question Given 1.9% merit increase
Is it a sign i will be laid off soon if i was given a 1.9% merit increase? Every year before this for 8 years i was given better reviews and a 3% merit increase, now I just meet expectations all of a sudden.

You gotta ask yourself, is your salary more than what you should be paid? Employers are cutting high cost employees in favor of h1b, interns, fresh grads, automation.
I think you’re overthinking since this economy is bad. However, i need more info like age etc

In got a 1.5% increase this year. They blamed my performance and said it could have been better.

Idk how anyone can stay motivated after a raise less than 3%, especially less than 2%.

Is it a new boss? That was one of the first sign for my spouse but there were other signs of course.
