many people at IBM are not engaged, mostly due to company loyalty towards their employees. IBM for last 3 years has ALWAYS found an excuse not to give out raises. They set unrealistic goals for profit margins and if those goals aren't reached no one gets a raise.

This year we acheaved our raise, so they found another excuse to not give out raises. They said, we are eligible for raises if their market assesment team finds out that we are being Underpaid for what we do.

SOO an internal team would do market assesment for each job position to see depending on the market if your position is underpaid or not.

Thats all fine and dandy but their "underpaid" qualification means you have to be making 15% less than average person in your position.

lets just say only managers got their raises AGAIN this year for 7th year in a row! while one of our executives got a 350 million bonus.
