I'm nearing my first anniversary working for a company, and my employer is happy with my work. She called me in for a meeting the other day and mentioned how she values the work I do and that she feels I deserve to get a raise. I really do. However, she said, as much as she wants to give me a significant pay raise, it would be a lot on her now.

It's not like I'm underpaid. I earn a nice salary. It's just that I feel that I want the year's worth of hard work to be recognized. What to do?

Since she can’t afford a raise, try negotiating a couple extra days of PTO.

I would look at it this way, at least you still have a job and as long as she and you know that you a doing good work is all that should matter. The last employer I had was under a hiring and wage freeze for 13 of the 23 months that I was there.

Is there any chance at getting a bonus vs a salary increase? We used to get a couple thousand or company stock as incentive bonuses.

That being said, I also agree with Customer Service Representative 1's response.

I have been giving a few interviews lately and every Company is asking me to confirm if i can get my NP reduced from 90 Days to 45 or 60 Days. I'm still under probation but assigned to a Project already. Should I ask my Account Manager and HR about it or its unethical to do so. Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.
