most likely, yes. Our office did not loose much and no staff or pay was cut. No gov assistance either. I don’t think those that performed poorly while working from home will get much of a raise tho.
Yes, but the answer is going to be based on how your particular firm was either hurt, unaffected, or helped by COVID disruptions and changes in the market. As others have said, some employees have hurt their standing with management by not being productive in a WFH arrangement.
I had planned to increase my billing rate on Jan. 1 2020 but decided to hold off. Now I'm planning a raise for Jan. 1 2021, about 15%. I won't change my salary but hopefully there will be some profit at the end of the year.

Bench
MM - are you working for yourself or is there a broader partnership/entity?
I work for myself, by myself, with an LLC filing as an S-corp. All residential design with a focus on high performance/low carbon. I know the OP may not be asking for feedback from the self-employed, but I do my best to run it as a business so it's not that different.
Mean while my firm has 10% cut until the end of this year. But, 1/3 of the firm got laid off. what can i say. The market is too terrible to even allow me to jump.
still unemployed... sucks really... been applying everywhere and not getting one interview! Ugh

Of course not. The few openings remaining are there to pick up the senior level good ones that got laid off. Unless you are one of those, you are out of luck.
Raise in 2020
So does anyone think raises are a possibility this year or is that completely of the table due to the economic crisis?
I just got a $15k increase when I got a new job.
grats :)

Quality.
I'm giving them out in January.
How many employees do you have?
Yes! We didn't slow down and hired one more architect. Hope it stays busy.

Thanks for all of the responses! Hope you all get raises :)

I got a 10% raise a few months ago so it is possible.
I give myself a raise with almost every project. :)
Yeah but $0 with a 15% raise is still zero.
You have a point there.
Highly unlikely, we'll be lucky to have our full salary restored.
I got a couple percent - not great, but not nothing.
If it's not above the cost of inflation it's not a raise. I was very sad when I realized that. :(
Fortunately, inflation has been pretty low.
Even sadder to realize that not getting an increase each year to cover the cost of inflation is like getting a pay cut.

Thanks Jay... wonder why randomised recommended them?
Because of you...
