I want to preface this by saying that I hate the company I work for, and am actively looking for new work, but until something comes along, asking for a raise is my only other opportunity to increase my income.
I work for a mid-size company where I report directly to the CEO and COO. Last year I emailed the CEO asking him if we could sit down at some point and discuss my compensation because of a lot of new work I had taken on in recent months. I had a list of accomplishments ready to go over, as well as examples of what my "market value" was. He emailed me back and told me that it wasn't necessary for us to meet because they give raises when they deem it appropriate and are always fair about it. This obviously pissed me off because it sounded like he was blowing me off, but then a week later he gave me a 20% raise.
It has now been a year since I got that raise, and since the company doesn't do reviews or performance meetings of any sort, I want to ask for another one. The team I managed has grown in the last year, and I've also gone above and beyond by helping a few other departments cut out inefficient processes that should be more than enough to argue for at least a small raise. I'm just not sure how to approach it a second time. Should I just email him again as I did last time, and ask for a meeting? He obviously didn't respond well to it the first time, but... I did also get a raise. I'm not sure if there's a better way I should approach it considering what he said last time. I'm hoping you guys could share some thoughts on how to proceed.
Thanks!
