My boss just gave me a 2% raise after I saved the company $40k
Finished a project six months ago that cut supply costs by a huge amount. The owner even mentioned the exact number in a meeting. Got my annual review yesterday. Raise was basically nothing. He said it was 'standard for the market'. Feels like a slap in the face after that win. Has anyone else been rewarded with peanuts after a big success? What did you do?

Companies often budget for raises separately from project bonuses. Ask HR if there's a discretionary bonus pool your win could qualify for. Sometimes you have to push for that extra cash in a different way.

My old boss did that, so I quit.

Quitting over one bad boss might cut off a good career path though. Sometimes you just need a different manager, not a whole new job. I've seen people transfer teams or wait for a re-org that changes the reporting structure. Walking away is an option, but it's not the only move on the board. A bad boss doesn't always mean the company itself is broken.
