What if my boss is continually evasive about making a decision/having a follow-up conversation?
If your boss has not reached a decision by the end of your meeting, try to set a follow-up date. If your bosses are busy on that date, or if they avoid specifying when you can speak again, approach them in person at a time when they are available and not distracted or overwhelmed. The key is to be persistent, not annoying. Mention that you’d like to follow up and ask if this a good time to talk. If your bosses continue to avoid the conversation and do not commit to a decision, they do not intend to give you a raise. It’s up to you to decide whether you still have a future at your company.
