You assume three things: First that you are due a raise, second that the other person is not, and third that the other person getting a raise precludes you from getting a raise.
My advice as a manager. Do not make an issue of this. If you feel that you are due a raise, you can go to your boss/manager and state the case for why you deserve a raise. But under no circumstances should you go in with the attitude that so and so got a raise so I should get one as well.
For reference, this type of bs is exactly why you are not supposed to discuss your salary and compensation with co-workers.
Your other option if you feel you're being slighted is to see work experience with another company.

I would feel robbed if I felt I was working on the same level as the one who got the raise. Also, I'd examine myself and see where I could improve my character and my working habits. The person in charge must have had a reason for giving this person the raise. All you can do is do the very best you can and have a good attitude no matter what happens to the other person you work with. It's natural to feel left out and down in your spirits. Just make up your mind you are going to improve in everything you do and hopefully your turn will come to get the next raise...best wishes...Mama Jazzy Geri

If you are doing the same work, in the same department, its time for a reality check for you.
What have you done differently to the person who got the raise? Have they been on the job longer? Do they put in more hours? Do they have a better relationship with the boss? What do you need to do to improve your status there. Sometimes, its just not the work you do, but the personality that comes with it.
It wasn't YOUR raise, it's the other persons. Somehow they earned it, think about it.
...then go ask your boss!

Life isn't fair.
Start looking for another job if you're not being rewarded adequately in terms of promotion.
And make no particular secret of the fact that you're looking around for a job which will use and reward your skills and hard work more adequately. You WANT the information to reach your superiiors, but you don't want it to look as if you're trying to get it to their ears.

Id be pissed. Welcome to the corporate world. However, it happens to everyone corporate or not. I would ask my supervisor for a reason. Ascertain what the reason is. The make determining factors from that point. It could have been an over site on the compnaie's part in fact. However, check into it and act accordingly-Good Luck

I saw that at my job. I didn't say anything and resigned.
On my last day, my boss came up to me and said "You were great - I didn't hear a peep out of you" and told me he'd give me a great reference. Envy never helps anyone, but what you don't say can speak a thousand words.
