I wrote an email requesting a pay rise coupled with promotion. My director agreed and advised that GM wanted me to complete a training. I applied for the training, was accepted, then later told I was withdrawn. Again this happened a second time. Found out today from HR, that the training is not available until I am a red band manager. Yet I cannot be made that band until I complete the training. Have a meeting with my director and HR director tomorrow to discuss. Already 6 weeks have passed since my initial communication about salary and role change. My question:. How do I best go about this. In my mind I wanted the increases to happen already, and not my fault the training is not made available.
