CongratulationsAnnual increase time. Not sure what the average was but I got 4.9%. Better than a kick in the nuts. Also got a reduced bonus which is actually 99% of my monthly salary. Somehow that’s 72% of the target. I have no clue how they calculate these things, and just roll with it.
Just to clarify - I didn’t work hard for this, and almost certainly don’t deserve it (if the world was fair). But I’ll certainly accept it, and keep counting the number of paydays till I retire.
I hope this has not shoved you into a higher tax bracket.
Can you decline an increase if it will move you to a higher tax bracket? I assuming that it would result in earning less than before.
