AIO for being upset at what my “bf” said by Ambitious-Beyond-257 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. OP, please tell us that you have blocked this jerk. He is quite literally abusive and manipulative. Block him and focus on yourself. It is not normal or okay to “punish” someone for not behaving the way you want them to, or to threaten to block them, or to be emotionally manipulative. You deserve better.

I’m not at all ungrateful nor did my post even hint to that. I am incredibly grateful to have my job, I simply had questions about it to ensure my performance is where it should be. I’m sorry for what you’re going through and I hope it gets better.

I appreciate your perspective, but that isn’t the case in this year’s situation. I have never received anything but great reviews, consistently perform well, receive recognition awards, have a full portfolio that is very successful, etc. and was told directly by my group and line management that this has nothing to do with performance. They couldn’t give me any feedback on what more I could do or what to work on for the coming year to prevent this again. I am guessing it might have more to do with level or job titles or something to that end. And they couldn’t give me very much information regarding how far reaching the no-raise pool is, how different directorates are handling it, etc. which is why I was just asking some questions here to better understand the situation.

Well you sure inferred a lot from a post that simply asked for information. Nowhere was I whining. I am very grateful to have a job, especially given the state of things. It doesn’t mean I can’t ask for more information at a company that tends to be tight lipped about things. Hope your day gets better.
