By The Time You Give Them a Raise, They’re Already Out The Door
This is so true.<p>At my previous job, my boss continually told me that I was the most profitable employee and I was obviously one of the most valuable.  One year in, I requested a performance review and it kept being delayed.  18 months in, still no formal performance review or raise.  So, I started looking for another position and was offered a position with a great team.<p>I was set to put in my 2-weeks notice, the day after accepting the new position. Already "out the door", just prior to putting in my 2 weeks, I was asked if I was available for a review later that day.<p>Had my review come anytime between that 12 and 18 month mark, I likely would not have even looked for another position. I'm glad I did though, all things considered.
