Just found out in passing that my creative partner is negotiating for a raise and is in the process of a formal performance review with management. For context, we joined as a creative team and collectively negotiated for the same salary when we joined the agency.

Ideally I'd have done this together as a team, but they're too far along in the process to do so now. How do I approach my own review now that it'll be separate? I wish they'd have told me so we could have had strength in numbers.

I think that as an individual, you are in charge of your career, so don’t expect others to do that for you. I have to say though, your partner could have been more transparent with you and let you know they were going to ask for a raise. But again, once more, you are responsible for your career, raises, promotions, etc. If you don’t ask for them by yourself, don’t expect others to do that for you because, as they should be, they are taking care of their own professional path.

What do you mean by “strength in numbers”? If your partner chose to go ahead and negotiate separately, sounds like they think either they deserve more, or that they could get more by negotiating individually themselves rather than together with you…

Good point CD1. They've clearly expressed the fact that they don't want to climb the ladder due to personal reasons & had no interest in doing so, but if their mind changed I'd always support that choice. I do feel cut as we've been working together for 4-5 years now, and I was the one that secured this job for us through my personal contacts.

Sounds like a real nice guy. Go get your own raise OP, or bolt.
