First Salary Review


yes that's right people, yesterday I had my first salary review and I was very very nervous at first because I did not know what to expect or what to say for my first salary review. I was so nervous that I just kept praying and praying and praying, asking God to be with me during the review.


I still remembered when I entered Peter's (one of the directors of my company who is in charge of the staff matters) office at 4 in the evening, I did not know what to say or what to expect. I prayed and said:" God, I leave my salary increment into your hands, I trust you will provide what is best for me Lord". Indeed, god answered my prayer and gave me an amount I did not expect at all.


Peter showed me my productivity graph and said:" your productivity is below the budget after writing off the 15% benchmark". I was like okay! thats it man, I think its not going to be good this time. Then Peter asked me how much increment I wanted and I told him an amount. he went :hmmmmmmmm, okay, how about this amount?????" I was like okay, well it was below what I wanted but it still was not far from what I wanted.


I was speechless because for getting such a negative feedback on my productivity, I still got such a high increment of 31.5%! 31.5% man, really no joke. I could not believe it. I just want to Thank god for being so good to me. I love you lord!
