Next comes furloughs and lay offs - or at least this should be a BIG warning sign that this is possible. If they can't even manage a 1-2% salary increase they are in trouble financially. Update your resume and start looking now! Because this also means you probably won't get a severance package when laid off as well. You don't have to TAKE another job unless you like it, but start shopping around now and interview if only for practice.


Exactly, a 5 percent salary raise for a strong contributor you want to retain is not going to break the bank for a company that is in good or even just okay shape. Assuming OP's performance is as good as she says it is, the company is in really bad shape and layoffs are coming.


This. Or upper management thinks they have OP where they want her, and she's too much of a team player and too emotionally invested to go somewhere else. Either way--you need to start looking. If there will be layoffs, nothing can protect you if you are not part of the club. If there aren't layoffs, and you let them get away with this, they will start mistreating you in other ways.

They have altered the deal. Is there something especially compelling about this job that requires you to put up with it?

My boss started bitching about my telework despite the contract saying I could and our government client not raising an objection when I -was- the boss and allowing most folks a day of telework.

Three months later I took another job.

Yeah, so like did the CEO take a pay cut so his employees can get raises?

What a bait and switch. You need to escape.


I seriously doubt the CEO and other head honchos took a pay cut too....
