A bit less than inflation from what I remember, so not an increase at all, a slight living wage adjustment.

Oh no! I hope you're not out of a job man! Good luck!Congrats to all with a prospect of getting a salary increase, I am sitting in suspense and at 12:00 tomorrow I will know whether I will still have a job.......They've scheduled feedback sessions from 9:00, 15 minutes per person. Out of the current 26 in our group, only 14 will still have a position.

EP rating - Should be 12%
Only going to find out towards the end of May or early June. Bonus pool for our division is flat (so I'm hoping for the same bonus as last year) and company directive is that overall increased salary cost can only be 5%. May have to fight with people about that because quite a few of my team members need and deserve much bigger increases... (I really hope my boss feels the same about me 
)

Mine to be confirmed later in the year but if less than 9% it will be interesting.

Surprisingly got a mail late Friday night to inform me what my increase will be and that it's kicking in from this month and not July as per normal.
Not comfortable to share the % though.

Totally forgot it's that time of the year. Probably nothing, if any it will be a welcome surprise.
F**k me, 0%. We're getting rated as a team instead of individuals.

This smells of the company running the numbers, realising that, if they rate as a team, instead of individually, they can save lots and lots of money to line management pockets with..

Of course it wouldn’t be a typical South African company otherwise
I was one of the 14 "lucky" ones, but with a salary freeze "until further notice.....
". In hindsight I perhaps should have given more consideration to the Voluntary Early Retirement package offered. We could only apply for a severance package to before the announcements of who was lucky and who wasn't was done.Should there be another round in future, I will most definitely take a severance package. Otherwise I will just stay on until the end of the month after turning 60, which is in 3 years, 10 months and 4 days (1406 days in total). I might consider staying on until I reach 40 years' service in October of that year.

Company-wide was between 0% and 9% with the average at 5.5%.
Staff on lower job grades had a better chance of doing better than the average, while those in mid-upper grades did well to get more than the average.
Mine was 5%, but I've only been here a few months so I'm not complaining.
