What do I do about this... |
|
My company has a policy that on the anniversary of your hire, you have a performance review. Typically, a longevity raise is assessed and awarded at that time.
Over the past year, I've been promoted twice with no commensurate increase in compensation. I've formally asked for a raise, without due consideration given to that request.
So, here I am and my anniversary has passed by two months. I have repeatedly asked my rater to have this performance review. The latest response I have been given is, quote (all except the Squatch part):
"Nothing to review yet, Squatch. I'll call you when I'm ready."
I feel as if his responses have been dismissive and aloof. This delay represents money I am not getting paid.
Any ideas of what should I do, without burning bridges?

1. Tell him what you think without getting angry |
|
Just state your case plainly and ask if your perception of this policy is wrong or if it has changed. Tell them it represents money and you would not be a good employee if you weren't concerned about compensation issues.

2. Contact HR and confirm the company's policy |
|
And then ask them to remind your rater that you are due a performance evaluation.

3. Very gently say, or even better send a memo or e-mail saying, |
|
"The time for my review has long since passed. If there is a problem with you gleaning documentation of my performance, I'd be happy to provide you with some or go to the administration or your supervisor. I'm only inquiring because I am really wanting some feedback in order to discern how and if my job performance can be improved. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely. . ."
Wait a couple days. See if anything happens. Then forward the e-mail to the administration or supervisor attached to a query.
Just a guess.

4. Company policies are never written with employees in mind. |
|
It's always an unequal arrangement.

6. That's exactly what I am going to do. I will give him until |
|
the 6th of August, which is exactly 2 months since my anniversary. I will then bump it up to the VP in charge of this division.
This is bullshit. I am a professional who's spent many hours, including my opwn personal time, developing this product. I want to be recognized for that.
