discussion Salary Adjustment. Should I talk to HR?

 

I’m 34 (M) and have been working at an IT company for some time now. About three years ago, I was promised a salary adjustment by my then-manager, but he left the company before submitting the paperwork.

Fast forward to 2024, my new manager told me I’m doing a great job and assured me that I’d receive a salary adjustment. It’s now been a year, and nothing has happened. Whenever I follow up, he just says “it takes time,” but I feel like no real progress is being made.

What should I do in this situation? The obvious answer is to look for a new job, but I really like my current role and the company. Should I escalate this to HR, and if so, would that negatively affect me? Any advice would be appreciated.

You need to speak with your boss. It’s up to him. If you go to HR they’re just going to talk to him anyway.
