Google’s “People Ops” department kept overall compensation essentially equitable by making sure that lower-paid employees who performed well got higher salary increases than higher-paid employees who also performed well. Serious question, is this generally considered a bad thing? Every company I've worked for has had salary bands that work like this. They don't make it a secret. Generally you know which band you're in and the range of that band. I've recently been told in a company meeting at my current workplace that they are mainly working to bring people to the middle of their bands. So if you're above the middle, expect a low raise. On the other side, I can't help but feel underpaid since I've been told by people who know that the work I've done personally has allowed us to bring in more than 100 times my salary in recurring revenue.
