Theoretically, I can look online this morning at this week’s paycheck to see my bonus and raise. My boss was supposed to meet with me first to tell me the numbers and go through an annual review, but he still hasn’t done that yet. So it’s very tempting to just look it up and find out for myself, but I think I’ll wait until the end of the day. Maybe I’ll have my review by then, who knows.
We’re in the middle of planning a big event right now, and for my boss, it’s right in the middle of a huge international deal that may or may not go through in the end.
I think I would have caved by now and looked, but that’s just me.
I totally would have caved. Patience? I have none.
So I finally had the review. I’m getting a decent raise, but my boss confirmed what I knew all along: even with the negotiating I did when I first took the job, I started with a low salary. Sigh.
that is sad. it’s so hard to tell when you do ok with that negotiating stuff…. at least you got a raise. i don’t think there are any in my org’s near future….. 🙁
At least you get raises. If I don’t get a lot of work, I don’t get money. Raises, decreases…who knows from week to week?
