Needless to say I have been here for a year and I just had my annual review and he gave me a 3% raise. I left my old job making 42k - took this job making 38k with a promise of 42k at the end of 90 days. I have been here for a year and now after my raise i am still not making what i was promised. My boss expects me to do a cost report which is due January 31. Without it the company would cease to be paid by the state.
No one can come in off the street and do this report.
Should I move on find employment elsewhere and charge him $2,500 to do the cost report. By the way we didn't get any annual bonus this year either. Also finding gainful employment is not very difficult for me I am an accountant.
What would you do?

1. Don't stiff your employer....do the report for him. You aren't going to find a job by the 31st. It is never a good idea to burn your bridges.
2. Ask your boss what's up? If he really agreed to it, confront him. One thing I've learned is not too many people will stand up for you - you have to do it yourself. And sometimes if you ask, you will recieve.
3. Do you darn best at your job. Don't slack off or do things half way. Put your heart into it and earn it, even if you don't get it. It'll pay off.
4. Look for another job and don't stop doing yours until the very minute you walk out the door for the last time.
Good luck!

If you are unhappy with your current situation, I would leave the job. If you didn't get anything in writing then your boss really doesn't have to do anything. It's kind of like your word against theirs. You cant go to his higher ups and say "He told me he promised!". Obviously he was just telling you that to lure you to the job. So, what I would do is go ahead and finish the report and give your final notice along with the report. Because after all your next job will probably call this boss for a recommendation and you don't want to screw that up.

If you work for a reputable, nice size company, this shouldn't be that difficult. But first, I would ask to meet with him/her and discuss the previous conversation of the promise. Be prepared to discuss your worth to the company and what you have accomplished on your own. If he/she still doesn't budge, then by all means look for another job with what you want. However, if you are happy at this company, enjoy who you work for and the benefits you have so far then maybe you can come to a compromise. But in the future, please get these things in writing! Best of Luck!

Remind your boss about the promise that he made and if its still valid from his end. If he says wait a while then you should ask him that i need it since i did leave my higher paying job for this job since you (boss) promised me that you would pay me more. Request him that he should pay you more that is all you can do, i am sure he will agree but since you guys did not get any bonus ( which sucks) i doubt he/she will agree.

I mlikr the direction your mind is going. Set yourself up as an independent consultant, get a federal tax id number. Tell them you are leaving to go independent and that "you are available" for consulting work to move them through the transition period.
Hey if they tell you to go shove it, get another job. Otherwise maybe this can be the start of something way better for you... your own thing!!

You made a mistake in switching to this job. Future does not look promising. Find another job ASAP.

till you've a freelance (no longer an e-mail... a freelance) specifying the words of will advance, he can do inspite of he needs. like all different answer stated, you are able to report him to his manager, or to HR if the corporate is enormous adequate, in spite of the undeniable fact that it truly is no longer a criminal concern.

find someone who will hire you and then tell him you have another offer and see if you can get a bidding war going.
