[quote=Anonymous]Well, just spoke to my supervisor about raise/promotion I've asked last week.
According to my boss - HR turned it down, my pay range is within average for my experience/qualification, so they didn't see any merit to increase it.
I have been working hard over last 3 month, eg 50-60 hours/week hard, sometimes I just felt I'd collapse @my desk due to all stress of the work place.
Never really complained about work condition, hoping for good performance review and possible pay increase. Boy, I was wrong.
I was told that that I didn't work above and beyond my position description.
For some reason - I feel humiliated, and slightly paranoid. Other people in the company got substantial rate increases, and bonuses this time around (in 5% - 20% range), and I got meager 2.5%.
Does my boss simply want me out for some reason, and covers it using HR "analysis of current market for my position"? 
I work for private company, tends to hire cream de la cream personnel, pays pretty well across the board (well, except me).
When I've started 3 years ago - my salary was in line with market, but now it did fall behind as confirmed by several headhunters I've been talking to lately.

I felt like quitting right away  :(

Just vent, thanks for listening

PS it was first time I ever asked for a rise, previously (with other companies) I've got increases without even asking. 
Any suggestions what I should have said to make it right? Or it was a lost cause from the beginning?[/quote]
