Evil HR Lady

For the past 10 years, I’ve been an IT Program Manager at a Fortune 100 company. In my last annual performance appraisal, in March 2009, my manager gave me the top performance rating and advised me that I was the only person in our group to receive that rating. He said he would probably recommend something in the 3-4 percent range. Then, a week later, my company froze salaries and recognition programs for all employees. year later, the company has announced that salary planning will resume and that any actions will take place in April 2010. How do I approach my boss about this?

Change is good for the soul

Evil HR Lady

Weird, I know. promise not to have sold out, although if you start noticing me making references to how much I love CBS television shows, you should call me on it.

Laid Off

Evil HR Lady

An inlaw of mine is almost 65 years old, and has worked as a project manager at an engineering firm for 35 years. Last month he was laid off. with four weeks of severance. Because he thinks a) since 4 weeks is what's in the company bylaws and b) that (based on no actual input from the company that I can see) he might get contract work for them one day, he doesn't want to talk to a lawyer. I say the worst case scenario is he doesn't get four weeks of severance, and best case can be a whole lot better. Did I mention that he just came back from a 7 month leave in October to recover from surgery?
