Donna,

That really sucks! It sounds like the people you work for are REALLY nit-picky, and are just looking for an excuse not to give you a salary increase!

I have always thought that a review should be a 2-way street - it should be an opportunity to discuss issues etc.

At least you HAVE a job now, and NO misguided sense of loyalty. Use the benefits, use the resources there, and call in sick when you have other interviews lined up!! (After all it's a lot easier to find another job when you are already employed)

I am sending prayers that this opens up a new door for you, and you find a wonderful new position where you are truly appreciated.
(((HUGS)))
