<prompt> Human: Hello everyone. Im posting this here because technically its about money, and whenever I post in rjobs I dont get any useful feedback.I started a new job in late August. When my boss extended the offer, he said I would have a 3 month performance review. He also said I was on a 3 month introductory period and that I shouldnt confuse this period with probation. There werent any strict rules like with probation. My boss has been very good to me, letting me take time off for medical appointments and such.The three month mark has passed with no mention of this performance review. He also never mentioned the introductory period ending, but I believe hes satisfied with my performance. Should I ask about this? I was thinking of asking for a raise at my 3 month review, but it never came. I believe Ive gone above and beyond, doing all thats asked of me and more. Ive demonstrated that Im a good employee who is worth keeping. I have a lot of bills to pay, and a raise would really help. How do I go about asking for it if my review never comes? Im not sure how to bring this up without being pushy. Tl;Dr: two issues here.1. I was told I would have a 3 month performance review, and 3 months have passed with no word of it or the introductory period ending2. I want to ask for a raise. Planned on it at the performance review. Whats the best way to bring this up?Assistant: was your starting pay substandard? Does your company have high turnover? What is your job and your background if you dont mind sharing? I personally wouldnt expect a raise within 3 months of starting any new job. Mainly because that doesnt seem long enough for either side to fully see what the job offerswhat you can bring to the company. Note that some companies use bullshit tactics like this to keep salaries down, high turnover andor disgruntled workforce will let you know if this is true or not. Human: My starting pay really wasnt bad, but wasnt great either. I live in an impoverished area and Im still living at home, so its enough for now. And actually a lot of people have been here forever. Theres barely any turnover from what Ive seen. People seem to stay for many years. Its a pretty small advertising firm.  <response>: Put in your 2 years and move on my friend. At the beginning of your career it seems like it always pays to jump ship at the 2-3 year mark, and again 2-5 years after that. Especially at a small firm where advancement is limited.
