I'm demanding a 20% base salary raise next week when my boss gets back from vacation. I haven't had a base salary raise in five years and they raised our goals by 18% for 2011. I'm at 100% of goal for the year and making exactly the same as I made at a lower % of goal last year. Basically, they cut our pay for 2011. I'm brining in $200k more for the company and not getting paid an extra dime for it. I don't have another job lined up, but feel pretty secure in asking/demanding this because this new pay plan has already driven two folks from our team elsewhere in the last few mos. and I think everyone is looking for something better. My boss's goals don't change because he loses members of his team and he hates nothing more than hiring and training new folks.
