Just be lucky that you had your annual review…
I’ve been at my company for 1 yr (labor day) and 4mo…and I still haven’t got my review (and assumed raise)!!!
I filled out my review sheet and gave it to my boss 2 weeks before labor day. he said “great we will do your review on or before your start date (sept 4th)”
bunch of fucking bullshit and nothing I can do except look for another job which I’m not sure makes a whole lot of sense since I only have about a yr of experience
My mortgage is going up, my health insurance is going up and I’m still making a rookie salary…BULLSHIT[/quote]
You mean, you expect to get a raise? Like it’s just something you deserve?
I’ll never understand that mentality.
But I would gently remind your boss about the annual review, maybe once every two weeks or even once a week. And if nothing happens in the next couple weeks, talk to someone in HR about what to do about it.[/quote]
uhhh, YEA, I do EXPECT a raise. I don’t like the entitlement mentality either, but when you know what you’re worth and you’re not getting paid for it, you begin to expect it…AAAAAAnnd plus the fact that the 2 or three times that I have asked my boss about my review he says “just remember that any pay increase will be retro active back to your start date” saying that even though he’s late with the review I won’t be missing out on my money.
If I told you what I got paid at this point you may have a chuckle to yourself.
HR? haha, we don’t have HR, theres about 150 people at my company and no one is looking over my boss, so theres that. He is a huge procrastinator, there are 2 others who are due to receive their review ahead of me, so he’s late on their review as well.
Let me ask you, when (if ever) should I bring up the fact that I need* (not want) more money at this point? I’ve been suggested to say so by my dad, but it doesn’t seem like the right justification for doing a review.

Let me start by saying I’ve never gotten a raise that I didn’t ask for.
Needing more is justification in part, but only part. The rest should be based on verifiable facts that you are able to list and describe what part you had in that success. It has to be the right thing for the employer to do and they need to see the reasons why it is.
I’d also bet that there is a good chance that your employer is holding out until someone walks into his office and asks directly with good specific reasons. If you don’t feel confident that you have earned it you aren’t going to do that.
