<prompt> Human: Ill try to keep this succinct. I work as part of a digital sales ad-operations team, trafficking online sales campaigns. I set up campaigns, monitor, optimize, provide reporting, etc.I was promoted into this department from another department at the same company, 7 years ago. Ive had one small bump in pay like the 1000 range about 4 years ago if memory serves correct. I have received no other pay increases. Annual reviews by our company were cancelled several years ago probably around the time I had my last little bump in pay.Back at the end of May 2017, I went to my boss requesting a pretty significant raise about 20 of my current salary, due to my current workload. She understood where I was coming from, but expressed that the only way she felt she could get me more money is if I took on this new product from our Chicago team we coordinate with another team like us based out of another major city, not Chicago just using this as a protective measure. The new product was managing all of the 2k per month Facebook marketing campaigns sold via our company. The agreement was that I would manage the new workload during a beta test, and then the raise would come after reviewing my performance during the beta test.As of September 2017, I started the supposed beta test, taking on new Facebook ad-campaigns. Im now managing around 70 campaigns, with a total monthly budget of around 80,000. In addition to my other workload which Im still tackling, Im managing probably close to 150,000 in monthly budget, certainly well over 1M annually, in all of those online campaigns.Towards the end of 2017, I was beginning to grow a bit frustrated that I hadnt heard more. In my opinion, I had been VERY patient during this process, so Ive asked my boss for an update. She mentioned she would talk to her bosses, and try to get a definitive end date on the beta test for the new product. I was receiving great reviews in terms of my performance on the new products. She said she expected to have more information for me by the end of the year. Ok.So first week into January, I still hadnt heard anything. I reached back out to my boss, trying my best to keep my tact, but likely coming off a bit more frustrated. My point to her was, Ive now been tackling this beta test for 4 months. I first went to her for a raise 8 months ago. Yet, I still have no definitive timeline on when the end of the beta test is, am I getting a raise, how much, when? She once again said she understood my frustration, and wanted me to know shes going to bat for me. She went back to her bosses, and then brought information back to me that yes, they are officially adding me to the team on the new Facebook product. She said shes have further details for me in a week.A week goes by. No further details. This is extremely frustrating. I reach back out to my boss for a status update. I once again explain how the ambiguity of all of this is really frustrating me, and I apologize for coming off as so impatient. I explain I like to think Ive been extremely patient during this entire process, I just really want more information about the current status of things. Im told more info is coming, but more info never does. Yet, the workload continues...My boss ended up reminding me that shes provided a recommendation on the increase to her superiors, and they are reviewing and need to approve before the pay increase and title change can be made, including announcement to the company this mention surprised me a little. She also literally said its not like Im just asking for a small increase.What I dont understand, is that still ZERO details have been provided on what the raise they are supposedly trying to give me is. ZERO details have been provided on what the title change will be. ZERO info has been provided on an acceptable time frame for this information to be reviewed and approved or rejected.My last exchange with my boss on this matter was 8 days ago. Im at the point where I want to reach out for yet another status update. In my opinion, it is at the point that this is rather exceptionally unprofessional overall. Im not trying to point fingers at any one person, but just overall they are not handling this very well. And in many ways, I feel that their lack of transparency with me, and their ambiguity has really made me more impatient at this point then I ever would have been.Should I reach back out to my boss? What should I sayfocus on? Im basically walking a tightrope where I want to play nice to get a once-in-a-lifetime raise that I can be proud of, but I also want to continue to bring focus to my valid reasoning that this is not being handled well at all, and its inducing quite a bit of frustration. I also want to hint towards the idea that if there is no foreseeable timeline in place for me to receive approval on the raise, then perhaps it is appropriate for me to request them sending the new workload back to Chicago. I mean, this only seems fair. I was told they were adding me to the team officially, so the beta test is over after 4 months now, as far as Im concerned. Ive shown I can tackle this workload proficiently.Or, am I in the wrong? Do I need to demonstrate even more patience here? Please provide your insights and recommendations.  <response>: 7 years without a real raise? 8 months without an answer. Youre not getting a raise.There is no shortage of jobs for people with 7 years of ad tech experience, especially Facebook. Ad partners, dsps, ssps, brands, startups. I wouldnt even ask your boss about the raise again. Id just go get another job. Unless you out a huge value on the working remotely part.Edit: can you share what city you are in and what your comp is?
