<prompt> Human: I got promoted from Administrator to Sr. Administrator on Dec 16, 2015. The new position came with a 1k a year increase. When it was offered to me I asked it this new salary increase was going to considered as part of my salary increase for the year 2015. They said NO.. my yearly increase would be based only on the previous position as an Administrator. When I had my yearly evaluation I got only a 400 increase for the year. My manager said the reason it was so low is because I already got a 1k salary increase when I became a Sr. Admin. He also said that I was getting 1600 bonus maximum bonus was supposed to be 2K which is also part of my total new salary. I thought the 1600 bonus should be aside from my salary not part of it.? And the 1k increase with my new position was NOT supposed to impact my new salary. I am confused and feel like I really got taken by this company... The way I see it I only got .19cents increase for the whole year 2015 as Admin, even though my evaluation says I exceeded expectations both in QA productivity. Should I talk to my manger and address these concerns with him? Any advise will be greatly appreciated.  <response>: I would recommend both talking to your manager about this in a polite way, and interviewing for other jobs.
