All Advice
Go to school I feel that in order to recieve a pay increase your company must see a return on investment. Organizations are not going to give you something without something in return. The best way to show your organization that you are worth the promotion is to increase your education. Go get a Masters degree.
Threaten to leave I've gone job hunting to the point that I've gotten an offer then taken that back to my employer and threatened to leave if I did not get a raise.
Happy in your Life and Work Always be happy in your life and work. If you become unhappy at work, find a new job.
Be sure you have something to work on My "manager" (boss) gave me a finished project to work on, prohibited me from doing anything else, and then said I had low productivity - just in time for the layoffs. Fight like hell to get a task that can show visible productivity. Even though productivity is the result of the sum total of ALL factors, including the ones that the boss is responsible for - you're the one who will get all the blame. Managers like to assume that productivity is like height - it's solely an attribute of the individual, like height.
No Raise I don't think i'm paid fairly. I see others getting a higher pay than me when we do the exact same kind of work. I think i deserve a good raise.
