I tried to ask for a raise a few mos. ago and was told no one is getting a raise until we complete a new round of reviews. I haven't had a base salary raise in five years, but have made more each year than the last one. Then I found out the review process has nothing to do with job performance (sales revenue), but rather how well we've all adapted to new training and other Kool-Aid-drinking teachings from our top boss. One of the words in the review criteria was "evangelizes." So, of course this will, at best, mean a modest raise that might take effect before year's end and then we have our annual perf. review in January again. Such a joke. But it's a good gig, so I'm not gonna make any more in base salary unless I threaten to walk and am really prepared to do so.
