Pay Raise Question
-
At my previous employment my boss had promised a raise and after the time came and still no raise I emailed and asked about it. A small portion of his response was "we are making minimal adjustments among managers to create additional parity." That was his way of saying, yes, your pay raise will be on the next pay check. He was so good at using so many words and never actually saying anything.

At least you got a pay raise. A previous company I worked for made me work all kinds of unpaid overtime and I was never acknowledged or thanked and just yelled at, and told I was a moron all the time. I was promised a raise if they kept me there 90 days, which they ended up doing, but then no raise. So I quit.

Been there done that myself. I was told to wait another 90 days despite performing above and beyond my required duty, so the next day they got my two week notice and were perplexed as to why I was giving them notice.

The same company did this to me too, except they thought it was acceptable to "pay" overtime on Friday nights with cheap pizza. So with their wondering why I gave two weeks notice, I brought up the bit about a review and all the unpaid overtime...

If these people are going to take massive advantage of you then you should just stick it back to them. Highly skilled programmers are easy to find after all (not). Brian
