My boss agreed to give me a raise and never did. Lied for 6 months about being in the process of, "working on the raise." Then when I addressed him about it he flat out said it won't happen and get over it. Worked there two years, was one of the top employees, and was super passionate about my job. Unfortunately, the lying over the raise was just a tactic to keep me hanging on. Now I'm learning from this experience and won't allow myself to be taken advantage of in the future. I plan on sticking rigidly to job duties. Nothing more and nothing less.

Dont tell people to practice asking for a raise w co worker ...thats a really bad idea. The people at work are NOT your friends. Remember that at all times !!!!

And above all, you should approach the conversations with confidence as if you ask for more salary, you’re going to be taken more seriously. So valuable content, thank you

Another point that my supperiors have never had a good answer to is to link your performance ratings to your compa ratio. If your performance is consistantly rated as top or above averge but your compa ratio is below 1.0 (average) that doesnt make sense and just means that for your performance you are being paid below average for you job grade and role.

Also, know the financial statements and performance of your company. Like i am in the situation i just mentioned and the first thing my managers say is there is no budget for further salary increases, but my conoany publishes a consisten $1bn dollar net proffit... so no budget is bullshit for the employees who perform, as evidenced by ratings, and help deliver that net proffit.

Does pay raise happens besides annual increase?

[elenagavrilova]

I am not sure I understand the message, feels like there is justification of the fact that HR and managers know that this employee matches all expectations, is paid lower than average and did not have salary review more than a year (HR and managers are paid for this, they know real salaries, no?) and.... they are waiting when this employee will come and will explain them things they already know... in other words "if employee is not asking this is very good for us (cost cutting, etc..), if he/she is asking, let the employee prove he/she deserves". As a result employee... leaves. Leaves not because of possibility of rejection, it is just ridiculous, can you imagine how much cool things could have been done instead of these useless talks?

Can this be through email or through physical talk

[savingwithsyndee]

I received an annual increase Dec. Today April I submitted a resignation letter. I received a counter offer. Would it be okay to say: I don’t want to accept the counter offer however i rather receive a raise instead of a counter offer ?
I’m on a project at property have been able to increase our monthly revenue, minimize the property’s violation count. I always go above n beyond, I work late when needed with no pay bc I’m salary.
