So I have been absolutely killing it at my job. I had my performance review today and I thought I would be getting a raise because I asked my boss about it prior to this meeting. Apparently, they only had funding to hire external employees. She said she should have the funding in July or August for internal but also on that same call she asked me to train the new hires that are above me so how am I good enough to train new hires for a position that’s higher than mine but I’m not qualified to get that position. I don’t understand. My performance review was absolutely fantastic. I got exceeded expectations and my boss said only one other person at my level got exceeded expectations. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m so pissed.

could you not get the contract signed and completed with the agreement you will get the raise in July and in turn you will train the new employees?

I had this issue as an accountant for a while. They refused to promote me, but hired a “senior accountant” over me, higher pay, and have me train her.
I pretty much had to do the professional ultimatum directly to my CEO. I got another job offer for more and posed it to him that I was going to leave for that due to the blatant disrespect of internal employee and internal growth opportunities that I was told existed but then didn’t when reviews came about. Now this was smaller company. I didn’t get a BIG raise but I got half of what I asked for and then requested another review after she was trained to add the rest once completed and moving forward.
