Dear Sheeads,
Happyness and quantum of Increment is always an issue. Your friend is not happy about the increment she received. What was her expectation, does rating and increment amount is linked or market data is linked. You know there are many questions on increment and frankly speaking, you will find many more people who are never happy with their increment quantum.
Boss, this is all depend on the Company's Profitablity, Budget for the increment and most important is Policy of the Company, which today no one is aware. However, keeping things in writing can be dangarous for the future of an individual. These things should be settled across the table, while receiving the increment letter or immediately after that. She can talk to her boss, bosses boss and understand why she received a less increment in comparison with others. In case she is not happy with the reasons, she can always look for different assignment.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks & regards
