Interesting that you say that. I took a 10% raise in March and I was content with it. Last Friday, very unexpectedly, my manager (an SVP) gets me onto an ad-hoc 1:1 to tell me that I was approved for a 15% raise. Hush, hush, don't tell others -- of course, I spoke with some colleagues about it; I've worked very closely with a few of these people for over 7 years, there aren't many work secrets between us, pay included, and many of them, but not all of them, also received significant mid-year bumps this year, as well). I've never had a mid-year adjustment... Never. This explains what occurred in a very neat and tidy package and also confirms my own suspicions.
