Java Platform Group not getting promotions this year

Question

I'm at IC-2 at Oracle atm. I've been with the company for two years and I am looking to get a promotion which was promised to me last year. It's been in the talks for half a year, constant back and forth with my manager and HR. After all this time they came up with stock options which is the complete opposite of my stated requirements. They claim that no one in the Java Platform Group is getting a salary increase and I wanted to verify whether HR is trying to manipulate me.

I am at the beginning of my career and I don't want to tie myself to Oracle for another year. Very sly move...

Promotions will be retracted until morale improves

I am at Oracle working as software engineer in IC3 role in another GBU. We are also told in one of our recent All handa that there will not be any salary hikes for this year.

I was in a similar position as yours in 2015. I joined the  GBU 2 years prior as an IC3 and worked really hard on a greenfield project. I got all the 'praises', but when it was the time for promotions, I was told there wasn't any budget for it. I was demoralised and was Burnt out. However, a year later two of my other colleagues were promoted and I was promised a promotion, which never came. I got frustrated and left. Loyalty in any company, especially Oracle does not pay. Don't let the frustration get on to you because it will be very difficult to get out of it.

Actually i am getting the same situation this year but not in Oracle but in dell, what i was told is since the financial report fell short of expectations not being able to be promoted and I started to seeking for other opportunities.
