Asked for raise - nothing but crickets?
I have been at the same company for 10 years and I am pretty happy. This year I decided to ask for a raise. I thought I performed well in the previous year (according to our customers) and so I wrote what I thought was a fair letter justifying the raise. I emailed it to my team lead and his boss. That was 10 days ago. I have not received anything back at all. Not even a rejection email like "we are sorry but it's just not possible at this time".
Is this strange? At this point a rejection email would be better than this complete silence. Are they working on something? What should I do next and when should I do it? Should I send the letter to other managers who may be able to help?
thanks

Unfortunately, this is not strange or unusual.
I believe you should follow up.
Asking for a raise can be a stressful endeavor, but it's a part of the life of a salaried worker's life.
If you desire an answer with more words you could check How should I properly approach my boss if I'm feeling underpaid?
