AEP - Performance reviews and compensation discussions lately?

Just finished up my annual performance review at AEP and the conversation around compensation felt... different this year. Usually, there's a clear path or at least some indication of what to expect based on performance and market rates. This time around, it felt a bit more vague, with a lot of emphasis on 'contributing to company goals' without concrete numbers or raises tied to it. Anyone else experience this? It's making me a bit uneasy about where my salary stands within the company, especially with the cost of living going up. Wondering if this is a company-wide trend or just my specific team/manager.
