So far I've managed to keep the blog a relatively work free zone, but this one has got me confused.
Imagine that you received a letter offering you promotion to a new position stating a starting salary, which would be subject to review on successful completion of a six month probationary period.
Six months later, you attend your second successful probationary review and appraisal after which you receive written confirmation that you have far exceeded any original expectations and passed your probationary period with flying colours.
Is it unreasonable to expect that four months later you might have seen something?
Should I be surprised to learn that it is now suddenly under international discussion?
And perhaps "review" didn't necessarily imply an increase in salary?
Or that you would retain your full workforce?
While the company is enjoying it's best profits on record for many years?
It isn't just me then? I didn't think so.
So they really are being a bunch of bastards.
Well the game's not over yet...

Greetings from Montreal.
I have learned in life that "expectations are pre-packaged resentments."
Something one learns in recovery.
You were "baited" and strung along this little dog and pony show, and you have nothing to show for it, pending "international review!"
My best advice: Go to work do your job to the best of your abilities and cope with not knowing when you might get a "pay off."
Who ever said that employers were obligated to fulfill their promises in a timely fashion??
If you do not enjoy your job, and you find it more of a chore than enjoyment, may I suggest a career change.
BUT IF you like the job you are doing, the sheer knowledge that you have a job and enjoy it, will, in time, replace the resentment you now feel for being used!
You have a choice now..
(1)To sit in your resentment and fume, or (2) get on with the living of life
(and work as well)..
good luck.
Jeremy
