‘I got cheated out of my raise’: Employee gets snubbed by boss who refuses to approve their raise, they go over boss's head and report him as payback

Unless you work directly under the company's actual CEO, it is always helpful to remember that even your boss has someone to answer to. It is quite comforting to know that if something unlawful or even unfair happens with your boss, there is always someone you can turn to.

The person who wrote this Reddit story definitely remembered this piece of information, and used it, when they felt like their boss was doing something they should not be doing. OP (original poster), got this performance review back from their boss only to find out that he didn't give them the full points OP needed to get a proper raise. Instead, the boss actually gave a full raise to a coworker who does the same exact job as OP. Instead of accepting their fate, OP decided to go over their boss's head and talk to his boss, all to make sure they get the raise they deserve.
