How likely is my company to do this?

Back in January I got a raise. Not a typical few percent but, fortunate enough to get a decent size more. We have performance review next week and I'm wondering if they'll hit me with no increase because of what I got in January. However, as expected I want more money and I feel I deserve it because I put in the time and go the extra mile. I would have a right to be mad and speak up right?

    Depends in large part in how you rate in the performance arena. Would you have a right to be mad? No. They would likely discuss with you the areas where they feel you need improvement, or have not met their expectations. You can of course exceed their expectations and get more $$

    Are you sure it is "your" company? It doesn't sound like it.

    First, regardless of how you think you performed, you are not entitled to a raise. The fact that you received a significant raise only three months ago may work against you (you also fail to mention why you received the raise - if it is performance based, then do not expect a raise after your review, you got yours early). Getting mad gets you nowhere (well, maybe it gets you escorted off the property) and as for speaking up. use the performance appraisal to do that keeping in mind you need to support raise with evidence. You can't just go in and say that you believe you exceeded expectations - you need to show them specific example of where, when and how you did.

    If you got a big raise three months ago, expecting another is unrealistic. Expecting it and getting mad over not getting it will not be well received.

    You're going about it with the wrong attitude. If you want more money, you have to convince them that you're worth it. Sit down and make a list of the things you do that are above and beyond the ordinary expectations of your job. If you've streamlined a process, or saved the company money in some way, make sure to include those things. Arguing will get you no where.

    If you get one, say thank you. Otherwise just ask which areas they would like you to work on most.

    In my career, I had ONE year with two raises, quite a few years with none.
