Hi everyone,

Need advice. I’ve been an early member of my marketing team, focused on real work, results, and staying professional. Recently, others got salary increases despite doing less and focusing more on office politics.
I’m not against anyone, but it’s disappointing. I’ve never asked for a raise before.

Should I ask for a raise now or move on to a better opportunity?

You haven't provided enough information to answer this question.

How long have you been on this team?

Is the raise tied to performance or a different metric?

Did you try to talk to your manager to figure out why you were excluded?

You haven't been with the company for a year yet, I'm not sure that you should leave just because you missed one raise/bonus. Many companies have policies limiting the amount of money they will give to someone within their first year of employment. In theory this person is still learning their role and how the company works.

Based on your comments, it appears that you're relatively new to corporate life. Office politics plays a huge role in employee growth and performance. It's never wise to rock the boat until you've established a solid reputation and have demonstrated your worth. You've got to play the game if you want to succeed.

What are you basing it on? Busy work doesn’t mean work is impactful. Someone might be busier . Someone else can work less & has more impact. I would set up time and find out. How others on the team qualified for raises. What do you need to work on. This is more about you. Then comparing yourself to your coworkers. Good luck. 🍀

Fair point, and I agree impact matters more than just being busy.
In my case, I’m basing it on actual results — growth in traffic, rankings, and execution of work that directly affects performance. That’s why it felt off.
But you’re right, I haven’t had a clear conversation yet about how raises are being evaluated. I’ll set that up and understand the criteria instead of assuming.

Just finishing my first week in as an audit intern and genuinely I have no idea what I'm doing or even a general idea of the audit process. The senior associate left the engagement last week so it's just me and an associate, and they don't have time to give me instruction.

Am I stupid or did the e-learns not prepare me for any of this? The training told me I'd be auditing cash but I haven't even touched a bank reconciliation.

I could walk across the loop and not see a single bird but when I get to DCP, every day, rain or shine or heat or cold, thousands of birds. What is up with this tree? Why is it special?
