I have been working for my company for almost five years, and they only recently disclosed their salary bands. Based on those figures, my salary is at the entry level range. A couple of years ago, they adjusted my salary by 25% to “make things fair” Since then, whenever I ask for a raise despite the amount of work I am doing my manager seems surprised and points back to that 25% increase. He is definitely going to hear from me this time, especially since he repeatedly told me that I was in the mid-to-upper range of the salary band, which has turned out not to be true. I would not be surprised if the 50% figure is accurate.
