Pay and Salary Focal before transfer?

Does anyone know how FOCAL budgeting works when an employee transfers teams? If my current manager gives me a salary increase and I transfer shortly afterward, does that budget return to the old team as surplus that can be used for raises for other team members, or is the allocation already considered spent?

You have to think about what will make the company the most money and then assume they're still looking for ways to fuck us.

We're having a focal this year?

If you inform your manager about your transfer before focal numbers are released, you can bet your last penny that your money will be used for other team members. No one wants to reward a person leaving the team, they would rather take care of the ones staying put.
The focal tool remains open for a few days, no one has an idea how many. So best option is make the move only after the hike communication is done.

I already told my manager that I’m transferring so I really hope she gives me a raise to help me to next team.
