[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm surprised by all of the answers on this thread. The manager did nothing wrong, the employee handled the situation badly.

Personally, I wouldn't say anything, but I probably wouldn't be in a hurry to push the employees case again any time soon.

The employee lost an ally in you.[/quote]

Well what would you advise an employee who just gets told over and over that they aren’t getting a raise? It’s been 5 years for me.

I went over my boss’s head and easily got a raise. I was going to leave if that hadn’t worked. [/quote]

I would not have waited 5 years.  I know it sounds easy for me to say but it is true.  I would not have waited 5 years.[/quote]

Ok but would you go over your bosss head?[/quote]

Nope.  The employee got an answer she didn't like and decided to go to Dad instead hoping for a different answer than Mom's.  Dad in this case reinforced Mom's answer.

I would not have gone to Dad.  I would either step up and do what Mom told me to do in order to get reevaluated in 6 months or I would leave, realizing the promotion wasn't going to happen.[/quote]
