Because both our salary adjustments are not 5%. We had around 9% too. Maybe you ask ur GEO 4 friend to call HR? Our adjustment is definitely higher than that of GEO 3 at that time of adjustment in Oct 2022

7 YOE, GEO4 at $5700 basic gets 5% adjustment - adjusted upwards by $285, monthly basic is now $5985

and since the GEO3 is very near the new ceiling, he or she will be promoted to GEO4 from 2023 onwards, with the restored original increment, while the GEO4 promoted between 2020-2022 got the reduced increment only

conclusion?

Sure SLs play a role of course. But teachers cannot just all push the blame if they themselves fail to handle properly. Same for SLs, if teachers fail to handle, they also can't just blame teachers. Must ask themselves if they got set a proper direction. These kind of things, takes a village one. No one person can just be solely responsible.

Those who got promoted from 3 to 4 just before the adjustment...damn unlucky.

Whether you want to call it adjustment for the promo/merit increments, or for the GEO3 'pay raise', from my understanding, there was an adjustment made.
