I don't know why CEOs make these sort of announcements.

Several months ago my CEO mentioned in a townhall that raises would be larger than normal this year due to recognizing inflation.

At the tail end of my reasonable and normal performance review I got by far the smallest raise I've received in close to a decade.

So, I'm job searching, because the clear signal is my contribution is no longer valued. Had the CEO said nothing, I might be telling myself that the company was in hard times or something, but instead I know I'm an outlier.
