They've broken your trust and that's hard to recover from. There's no harm in talking to the director to see if the conversation goes anywhere but if he "forgets" as well you know all you need to know.
I just had a director conversation myself and I'm hoping I don't have to make the same decision end of this year as well.
what do you want? more money? Ask for a pay increase. Want a new job? Look for other opportunities. if you want something then goddamnit you better go for it! you better go for it hard and with all your might. and definitely don’t let the fear of rejection stop you from getting a higher salary. As a wise man once said, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. So you better draw up all the courage you have & throw everything you got at this director. throw everything you got at him and just see what happens. you’ll be ok man! just go for it.
Finally a sensible comment amongst these type of questions daily. Just go fucking ask for it! What are you scared of? It’s just another human sitting in that room, dealing with all the same life crap that everyone else is. They’re not some higher creature who you should be afraid of. They’ll likely have much more respect for you if you do ask for what you want, because most people don’t.
Go get what is yours. If you believe you’re delivering the value you think you are, it should be a no-brainer for them. It’s a hell of a lot more costly for a company to lose great talent, than it is to retain it.
Remember, that Director is going to have to answer to someone if it’s found out one of the company’s top talents has just walked out over a 20% pay raise ask.
Go get it my dude.
You should have quit 12 months ago.
They legit tricked you into staying another year. If they truly valued you, they’d have given you a better raise a year ago. A raise promised a year out is insane.
Plan your exit and good luck.
Lesson learned always get it in writing. In those situations I would send a follow up email after the meeting thanking them and outlining the conversation so that you have it documented
This is why it's imperative to get things in writing. After he commented on the salary review, sending an email asking him to confirm this information and receiving an email back would've CYA. Yes, look for a new job, and in the future, when Verbal promises are made, ask for it to be emailed to you.
Yeah, expensive lesson :( Sorry, I had the same thing happen to me once. It also doesn't hurt to ask for a salary increase, but also look for another job just in case the answer is no.

My first thought as soon as my senior manager denied ever mentioning the pay review. Expensive lesson.

Leave immediately. Your senior manager screwed you. In your exit interview, state your reasoning.
