I don’t see anyone discussing here like in the other subreddit.
From few comments, I felt like % hike is lower but well spreaded across compared to previous years (could be wrong).
Please post if you have checked yours in the HCM

Looking for advice or similar experiences.
There’s a manager on our team (I’ll just say he/she) who has been difficult to work with for a while, and it’s not just me; several of us are feeling it. A few patterns keep showing up:
• Most of the time he/she never replies to Slack messages. Important questions or updates just sit there unanswered.
• In team meetings and also during 1:1s, he/she regularly asks how much work we’ve done and puts people on the spot. At the same time, he/she almost never acknowledges or appreciates the work that has actually been completed (especially noticeable in 1:1s).
• Meetings get cancelled with zero notice or explanation - no message, nothing. He/She doesn’t take notes from 1on1s and keeps forgetting what was discussed in previous 1on1s.
• Occasionally he/she suddenly pings someone with a new task and doesn’t loop in the team lead, which creates confusion about priorities and ownership.
• He/she doesn’t seem to have deep knowledge of the features or tech. It mostly feels like work is being handed out after asking other people what’s going on.
I’ve talked to a few teammates randomly and they’ve expressed very similar concerns, so I’m posting here to see if others have dealt with this kind of manager.
It’s starting to affect morale and clarity around priorities. We’re trying to stay professional and keep delivering, but the lack of basic communication and the one-sided accountability is wearing thin.
Has anyone dealt with a manager like this? What approaches worked (or didn’t) for you; escalating, documenting everything, adjusting communication style, etc.? Any tips would be appreciated.
