So this is like the 50th thread regarding raises and merit increases and promotions and blah blah blah... Please bear with me.
I was a Guest Service TM from March 2011 to Feb 2012. I then got promoted to GSA in Feb 2012. I got $.50 when promoted.
On my annual review, everything was EX. I was expecting a decent %..because as far as I'm informed - merit and pay grades differ.
As my ETL was going over my stuff, I saw EX, EX, EX and thought wow, this is going to be great!(My GSTL wrote the interview - however my ETL is helping give them as we are a GSTL short at the moment). All of the comments were saying junk about how I'm excelling as a GSA and I should keep going within Target and I'm starting to gain respect from TLs.
Now for the point of the thread. My merit increase was 0.00%... I asked why and she said because of the $.50 I got as GSA promotion, it calculates to 0.00%. She also said if I have an issue to talk to my ETL-HR.
This happen to anyone else? I understand payroll is tight all around the company. But seriously. I make under $8.20 as a GSA... I'm not one to complain about added responsibility, I knew what I was getting in to when I accepted the role.
I was seriously livid when walking out of the office. I don't know if my ETL could tell as I usually don't show emotion but I was almost ready to walk out the door... Am I right to react this way?
I'm going to go in to speak to my HR tomorrow - any thoughts please?
