My acceptance letter stated my salary would be reviewed annually on my emoloyment anniversary. I've been told for four months now that the company has hired a third party to review salaries company wide to compare to the national average. I emailed HR with concerns and questions about my past due review. My manager emails today to let me know that HR forwarded my email to her and said "see below and address". Even though my manager does not have authority to review or approve salaries! 🤬

Sounds like it's been reviewed with no adjustments.

Welcome to corporate lingo bud.

Ugh, that’s a tough spot to be in! It sounds like HR is passing the buck without providing clear answers. If you’re open to it, you might want to directly ask HR for a timeline on when the salary review process will actually happen and if there’s anything they can do to speed it up. It’s frustrating when it feels like no one is taking responsibility, but staying firm can sometimes move things along. Have you considered escalating this with HR for more direct action?

I find it incredibly soothing to polish up my resume and start looking discreetly for another position if I'm being stonewalled. That way if they get back to you before you find a job it's a win, if they don't get back to you and you continue to look you will ultimately find a new position . I'm not saying it'll be in a couple of days, but it's very satisfying to know you're working on the problem when you know no one else is!

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
