My cousin insisted I should just ask for a raise directly, no fancy prep needed.

I did that at my review and my manager just stared at me blankly for a solid minute. What's the actual best way to bring up a salary increase?

Feel that, my manager did the same thing last year.

Yeah, my friend's boss pulled that "same thing" last year. They promised a big promotion during reviews, then the company "restructured" right after. It's such a classic move to dodge giving people what they earned.

Read an article saying this happens a lot around review time.
