Hello,
I’ve been off work for two weeks following surgery, and I’ve come back to find that I’ve completely fallen through the cracks regarding my mid-year review and salary discussion.
Before I went on leave, I spoke with a senior manager who said everything would be addressed in my mid-year review (date was still TBC at the time). The reviews happened while I was off and the deadline was today which I only found out today.
My line manager left the company while I was away and when I contacted their manager, I was basically told it wasn’t their problem. The SMT member I initially spoke to is now on leave until the end of the month.
I’ve since found out, by complete coincidence, that there is a budget meeting on Monday where salaries will be finalised. Others have already had their reviews and some have been offered salary increases so clearly this was the main opportunity to address this and other issues.
There’s been zero communication. I’m off for the rest of the week and have no one I can talk to. Everyone has either left, is on annual leave or mat leave.
Given the way the company is run and how these decisions are made I know HR will be of no help regarding these specific issues.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any advice would be massively appreciated.
