Salary and promotion freeze at RTX? What's the real deal?

Alright, let's talk money. My annual review just wrapped up, and while I got a decent performance rating, the usual bump in salary feels… absent. My manager was pretty vague, mentioning 'budgetary considerations' and 'company-wide adjustments'. Doesn't sound like a merit increase to me. I've heard whispers from colleagues in other divisions that promotions are also on hold, or at least moving at a snail's pace. For a company like Raytheon, which typically rewards experience and performance, this feels like a significant change. Is anyone else experiencing this? Are raises and promotions effectively frozen across the board, or is this localized? Curious to hear what others are seeing, especially if you're in higher management or HR. Trying to get a realistic picture of where compensation is headed here.

This is pretty concerning to hear. I've always seen Raytheon as a stable employer with good growth opportunities. If there are actual freezes, it's a big red flag for morale and future talent retention. Makes you wonder what the broader economic outlook is for the company and the industry. Hopefully, it's a temporary situation and not a sign of deeper issues.

Yeah, I've been feeling the same pinch. My raise was minimal, almost insulting, given the workload and my contributions. The 'budgetary considerations' excuse feels like boilerplate. If promotions are also stalled, it really stifles ambition. People need to see a path forward and feel valued, especially in this market. Makes you question long-term career plans here.
