A specific type of company specialises in acquiring other companies, and not giving their staff pay rises.
Staff are evaluated 'individually'. This means that if the employee performs well, the performance of the group is taken in to account..
Thus the individuals' group has failed - and no pay rise.
But there is
fat chance that they will tell you any of this, unless you
rake it out of the bastards. Individually.
Being a large company, Cedar have a large supply of
smoke and mirrors.
Oh fuck. I woke up this morning and realised I work(?) for
Cedar.
You can't have
a pay rise because we made a really large profit..
