I've seen a few threads started on work advice and thought that I'd ask for your opinions on a couple things....as a lot of you seem to have more experience.

I'm in the Payroll/Accounting field and work in an office of eight. Three of us...including myself…process payroll and work on the related accounting. At the top….in order is: our CFO, our HR Director, then the three of us. We also have three HR people in the office.

I’ve been here for a short time….almost two years (but have 10 years in the field) and have yet to have a review/performance evaluation. I’m sure this should happen once a year….but maybe not at this company. I would like to ask for a raise…which usually goes with a review.

My question is: How do I ask for the review? I started an email saying something like: I’m nearing my two-year anniversary and was wondering when performance reviews should happen. I also said that I would like to know the things that I’m not doing well and the things that I am doing well so that I can do my part in making the team better. I was going to send this to the HR Director and the CFO…since it’s a small office. I feel like I’m not very good at writing emails like this so….if I’m leaving things out that I should say or if anyone knows of something that shouldn’t go in an email like this….please let me know.

What do you all think? Let me know if I've left anything out or if you need more information. Thanks in advance.
