Management is not giving me promotions and hikes. They always rate me lower, though I am very good in technology and management. I have lots of proof of my capacity. The HR department is also not doing anything, though I escalated several times to higher authorities.

Request your supervisor for a detailed discussion on your performance. Listen openly to what they have to say and avoid being defensive. Find out the key parameters on which your performance was judged in the interview and get your supervisor's appraisal of where you're at now. Try to know what you could have done differently so that you would have surely got promoted. Also ask your manager what you need to do so that you do not face rejection again.
Make sure those above you and those who decide on your promotion know that you are working hard and you are effective in what you do. Talk to people who make a difference and let them know how keen you are to keep improving so that they know you are serious about moving up.

Hi,
There is a vast difference between confidence and overconfidence. When you think you are very good, these problems shouldn't come up at any point in time. There could be some reasons behind it. Maybe whatever you think might have looked different from your boss's perspective. Nowadays, every company is recognizing their employees to retain them, and they know that hiring and investing in them is a significant challenge. As suggested by Ghouse, check with your boss about your Key Result Areas (KRAs) and find out what went wrong and what the real expectations are. Then, you can decide whether what you have done is right or needs improvement.
On the other side, I wonder how the management is keeping quiet until their employees get bugged or demotivated. There should be a valid reason behind it; otherwise, they would have informed you by now if there was any issue. So, check with them and prove yourself in the right spirit.

Dear xxx,
Directly go to your immediate boss, whom you are reporting day-to-day business to, and ask politely what the reason is or what is wrong with me that I am unable to get the change like a hike or promotion. Another thing to consider is how long you have been with this company. There may be chances that you may be expecting a change every month.
Sincerely,

It's part of life that "Our face does not fit," or the boss is prejudiced, for whatever reason. Like Swami Parthasarathi says, "A man may be seeking a divorce from his wife, but at the same time, there may be another man just waiting for the divorce to get married to the same woman.
Let me give a couple of examples that I have come across. A Dutchman once said that he was not prejudiced like the English. I asked him, "If there are 4 equally qualified applicants for a job, is there anyone that you would not employ?" He replied, "An Italian." That's for non-perceived prejudice. In the second case, an Asian was not given a promotion in the UK; however, he had been advised to apply for a job 3 levels higher in India. When the employee spoke to the manager, his response was, "I am sure you can do that in your own culture."
If your discussion with the manager and HR does not bear fruit, your options are to quit and seek a job elsewhere (There is no guarantee that your present boss does not also do the same and becomes your new boss.) or fight it out legally if the cause is either Sexual Discrimination or religious discrimination.

Dear Anonymous,
Having gone through the above discussions, what Sneh is saying is correct without knowing the tenure of your service and intervals of appraisals. How many times have you been ignored?
Another point I would like to add, which you may not like, is that every assessment is important. What we think on our own is called self-assessment. Self-assessment tends to be more positive than third-party assessment. Therefore, do not get upset. Be patient. Approach your boss, inform him of the situation (without assuming bias on his part), and explain in detail. Ask him what he expects and try to make improvements before the next appraisal.
Before concluding, I want to mention that most replies are accompanied by a name or nickname, but your query remains anonymous. Do you feel this anonymity is necessary? In my opinion, transparency is important. By not revealing your name, you might be hindering the process.
Sorry for the directness.
