<prompt> Human: I asked the ceo small company for a raise 2 weeks ago. I was told that he will look at the books but it was a very positive conversation. Just got paid and No raise was there. He is a very busy person and out of town right now but I know he does payroll himself. How long should I wait before I bring it up to his attention again?  <response>: It doesnt sound like you were promised a raise, it was an Ill think about it. Bring it back up when he comes back in town, just ask to meet with him and then find out if he has given it any more thought since your last meeting. That way even if you do not get one, you can find out why.
