Dear Seniors,
Good Morning.....
I need some suggestions from you. I have completed an MBA in HRM & Marketing Management and have one year of experience in HR & Admin. Currently, I am working as an Executive in HR & Admin at a pharmaceutical company.
Upon joining, my boss mentioned a salary increment after 3 months. However, after waiting for 6 months, no increment was provided. When I approached my boss after 6 months, he requested me to send an email regarding my increment request, which I promptly did before the October salary cycle. Unfortunately, there has been no action taken. Despite waiting, no increment was reflected in my November salary.
I have noticed a pattern where my boss tends to grant increments to those employees who consistently inquire about their raises or those who bring up the topic of resignation.
I find it challenging to repeatedly ask for an increment and feel somewhat embarrassed. I am seeking your guidance on the appropriate course of action. I intend to draft a letter to address this issue. Kindly advise on the content for the letter.
I am eagerly awaiting your advice.

In most of the Owner Based Company it happens, Work sincerely & when you will get better opportunity take a decision. Better not to beg for increment for several times.....

Hi,
Yes, but sometimes what happens is that you are very satisfied with your current position in the company, but your emoluments make you dissatisfied. In that case, you don't want to leave the present company but are seeking a good salary revision within it. A fear of instability and dissatisfaction with change may lead you to plead with your employer.

But there is nothing like job satisfaction. No P.F. for all employees and there is no LTA, leave encashment... nothing... I am not satisfied with this org. There is no professionalism. According to my job responsibilities, the organization is not compensating me. My responsibilities are going to increase day by day but no salary increment.

There is a lack of professionalism in most owner-based companies, whether they are private limited or limited. All are typically like a baniya shop or lala ji ki dukan, where seniors enjoy good compensation while subordinates like us handle all tasks and are held responsible if any mistakes occur. In my case, my manager doesn't even check my work before signing the papers, and if he has to sign a large batch, he asks me to sign on his behalf. There is no "unity of direction"; the manager asks you to do one thing, but the owner asks for something else, and ultimately, it is you who suffers from this. I am just frustrated with all of this.

Most of the owner-based companies' bosses do not have the feelings of their staff at heart; rather, they are always after their set goals and targets. They won't mind whether you are exhausted or not. I will advise you to keep focused on the job, work hard, make your best show forth, and above all, look for other openings. When you are able to deliver, your boss will live at your mercy.

HR jobs are a thankless job. Don't hesitate to take on more responsibilities. When you take on more tasks, you will gain more experience. Ultimately, it all adds to your experience. Could you please share your experience, current compensation package, and job title? This information will help in providing suggestions for you.

Dear Bandana,
I remember one thing which my professional and highly ethical boss used to say: "salary is commanded, not demanded" and "beggars are not choosers." It may seem a little harsh, but it's true. I would advise you to make yourself indispensable to your boss, develop skills that your boss or organization value, and be thankful that your boss has given you an opportunity. Believe me, I have done it myself. I never demanded, but assumed all responsibilities of the department. I have left the job, but my previous bosses miss me for my work.
Wishing you all the best...
