Former manager and director moved to a new project, there were some consolidation and both current manager and director were from another team, taking over our project. We were scheduled to move to the new project by the end of this month to be under our former manager and director again.
6 months ago I got a small 2.xx% salary increase, nothing to speak about really, but at least it was something. Then this month I was told our CEO funded us 100% because we have a lot of people leaving, so he insist on paying up instead of cutting bonus as we expected. The "current" manager and director in the end cut my bonus to 75% of target instead of 100%, no explanation until I press on, with my previous statement, asking about how the numbers were calculated. First the manager blamed the director then he admitted he came up with recommendation and director "massaged" it a bit, then finally when pressed he said I was on the low end of meeting expectations.
I was originally asked to stay behind and help out the current project for a bit longer in the transition. I withdrew that offer the next week, told him that I like working with them but my career and financial might be better if I start on the new project sooner. He tried to sell me on the "more visibility" part of staying behind and I may get more reward because of the visibility......
Yeah it seems like I didn't get enough visibility from him or the upper manager before, and that leads to the "low end" of meeting expectation. I think I made the right move to not stay behind.
Maybe I should look for another job soon too.
