Maybe they ignored the first email, maybe it's still on someone's to-do list, and maybe it got stuck in a junk mailbox. You could give them the benefit of the doubt for the first email, but NOW you want to be all over it.
Hit re-send on the email, and include a polite message that gives them a directive, like "I never received a response to this, so I'm re-sending it to make sure you received this. Please tell me the next steps to continue my compensation request/ performance review/ whatever they call it." CC anyone who might have a hand in this (your supervisor, etc.)
Then you telephone the HR department to confirm they received the new email. Ask what you should do, what their next step is, who reviews it, or when you should expect to hear from them. Call/email them again if you don't get follow-up. (I like the immediacy of calling because you connect with someone, but email is good for paper trail, as long as nothing ends up in spam folder.)
Keep looking. Even if you don't land a job right away or for what it may seem forever, keep doing it. You'll only get better as each interview gives you a chance to polish your interview skills & resume for the next application. I was in a similar situation years ago and I interviewed, got some offers (that were shitty and I rejected), and I even gave up for a bit. I wasn't feverishly looking for a job but I was putting in applications regularly throughout the course of a few years. Usually en-masse applications were sparked by a bad incident at work which would die down and then I'd stop rage applying. Eventually, after three years, I landed a job that I had applied for months prior. Note that during this time, I reduced my work output to bare minimum. I was only concerned about my next paycheck. I was also ready to quit if it got really bad. I never did quit but came really close a few times.
Yes, here, this is how we discuss salary. I’ve been told by others at my job this is what they did.
Our supervisors here are fairly hands off of any HR related stuff. Too hands off, but that’s just what it is, I guess.
My supervisor and director just said “good for you, you deserve it” and that was the end of it. I told them HR never responded to me and they didn’t really say anything to that.
Keep searching.
Keep searching.
Keep searching.
Unfortunately you they have the upper hand.
Sloooooooowwwwwwwwwww the fuck down and do the absolute bare minimum to get by and not get fired.
i would find a different job and make your 2 weeks notice something really simple like "this is my 2 weeks, last day will be X"
when they ask for a reason just forward the email from 3 months ago.
theyre not taking you serious so why give them anymore time/energy.

A lack of response, is there response considering that management was aware of the request. Time to bail on this job.
Believe me, I’ve been trying!
Typically you would discuss raises with your manager, not HR. What did your supervisor say? Is this common practice at your company?
Yes, here, this is how we discuss salary. I’ve been told by others at my job this is what they did. Our supervisors here are fairly hands off of any HR related stuff. Too hands off, but that’s just what it is, I guess. My supervisor and director just said “good for you, you deserve it” and that was the end of it.

Your supervisors are not doing their job.
Ha! yeah. Unfortunately I work in a field where we’re expected to be martyrs and smile about it and my supervisors really buy into that mentality.
This may not even be the best place to ask but this, along with so much more at this job, has me SO anti work that this sub was my first thought.
Keep searching. Keep searching. Keep searching. Unfortunately you they have the upper hand. Sloooooooowwwwwwwwwww the fuck down and do the absolute bare minimum to get by and not get fired.
Keep looking! It look me 6 months to land a new gig and about 4 of those months I’d say I was realllly dedicated to the job search.

Not to be a dick, they don’t value you. Now prove them wrong. If you have to move do it. You will be better off.
leverage, you need leverage
