When the salary increase came up, his whole demeanor totally changed from happy/friendly answering my questions to totally like upset that I even asked. It totally threw me off guard and made me froze - like "how dare I ask for a higher salary" when he asked why would I deserve it.

In the end, he didn't say no - he does have to go to the board to get it approved though, he can't make the decision anyway. He said he would figure it out. But jeez - when his demeanor totally changed, it really shook me up. And still am.
that's weird...most promotions involve a bump in pay so why would that be a stumble for him?
