I was promoted in March, is it too soon to ask for performance increase?
By VP gave me a review and when I asked about increases, he stated he typically reviews in Oct based on revenue and single-handedly decides what each direct report will receive. We talked about this in August, he hasn't mentioned it since. Is it too bold to ask him if I will be considered this year? The increase is retro back to July, so it would be impactful. My perf review based on current/and prior year performance was highest rating in all areas. TIA for your thoughts :)

Dealing with call outs
I’m curious if others experience noisy co workers even management asking why you called out. And what do you say? I’m personally starting to find it annoying. Does anyone else find it annoying and what do you say?

Please wish me luck, or say a prayer for me! I am praying for all of us out there, particularly those of us in our mid-50s searching for a new role in which we can be happy, fulfilled and grow our careers (those of use not close to retirement)!
I am so tired of the rejection and tomorrow's interview seems like such a great position. I am trying hard to stay confident but it is not easy, since I have been rejected for so many roles.

I got a job offer from a large financial institution!
Part of me wants to celebrate and jump up and down, and then the other part of me is cautiously optimistic. The offer is contingent upon a successful background check. I have a misdemeanor back in 2009 when I was young and stupid. This misdemeanor has nothing to do with banking, theft,…

Absolutely ask, the sooner the better. He's the one who used to date of October not you. SImply call a meeting with him, bring any doumentation in about the timing of the review and everything you've accomplished since you've become the new whatever (whatever the promotion was) and any good comments you've gotten on any new work from anyone. If you wna to now what to ask for (he may have a number but if not) do some legwork online (salary.com etc) and see what the going rate for the position is, and suggest a rang around that. If he doesn't want to meet now, then at the meeting get him to name another date for a meeting and then at the end of all of this go back to your desk and write up a short meeting minutes list and mail it to him as a 'what i took from the meeting' message for your own records. Make sure to get him to verbally committ to a review date so you canadd that to your email back to him. Good luck.

All he can say is no. Better to keep up the pressure and make sure your expectations are clear. Especially if you get passed up this year you will want to establish your expectations for next year!
