Hi guys, I’m a fresh graduate that just joined roughly 7 months. Throughout my time in the company, I completed a few projects here and there and recently I took a lead in one of the IT projects to come up with a prototype for client.
Before this, my boss hinted me about a special increment after I completed past projects and just yesterday he asked me to do well for this project so there’s a chance for special increment.
Any thoughts in this ? Anybody gotten this treatment before ? All is just a lie to get employee to work harder ? 🤔

No one here knows who your manager is or if he had given this before to others. I've had a manager who said will give this give that but towards the end, they were all empty promises. I also had a manager who gave me two increments within my first 9 months in the company. Just continue to perform and you will eventually be rewarded, one way or another.

Work long enough to know that one must not believe what your boss promises.

what will you do, if the promises are not fulfilled? then have a thought about it once you get your own answer

Bosses can talk all they want, then ended up they give all kinds of excuses to delay increment, promotion, etc. Unless they are giving you the black and white, else take everything a pinch of salt.

Whether or not the promise kicks in, if you enjoy working there and is learning, progressing a lot - there's no harm to continue doing what you're doing. End of the day whether it'll come true or not - you'll find out after 1 year - when your evaluation/ KPI is done and you'll find out whether he's an empty vessel or a man of his word.

Well, u are a fresh grad.
I'd say do your best to find your true potential and make yourself proud that u did it.
Regarding increment, take it with a pinch of salt and demand from it later. As above said, need black and white

What kind of comments you want from us?
If your boss said so, then just finish the project and see how?

One thing for sure, just do your best. It's almost a year, so you likely will be evaluated over your KPI soon.

Well don't have your hope high.. Just kept it 50/50
I don't really know your boss personally.. But I feel like he trying to boost your confidence & energy...
So only time would tell if indeed there's pay rise for you 🙏

If you have the confidence, make it black and white in mail. Ask your boss if there is a specific form for promotion and increment. If he/she is still dilly-dallying about the increment/promotion form, then your boss might be just giving you empty talk.

It's quite common for bosses to give empty talk.
Don't put too much hope. Do the job well for your own skillset building and branding.
These are the two things you can bring with you in your next company.

As you're a fresh graduate, keep on learning and do your best regardless of your boss 'hint' at special increment. If you get it, good, if not, at least all this while you have done your best and learning a lot. With your experience and knowledge after those 2 projects, you could get better 'special increment' from your next job.

My peer got sweet-talked by her boss to cancel her leaves and finish an urgent project. Apparently the boss said she will help her fight for a promotion/bigger bonus.
Instead of getting any of that, my peer got below-average bonus, and did not get a promotion. So mainly just focus on what you have to do - no point thinking so far ahead and to potentially get disappointed.
