49ersfan Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 So i started a job about a year and a half ago. Last year at my performance review i got a 10% raise,even though i was the most junior member in my 5 person department. Fast forward a year and at 4 separate occasions in the year (March, July, September, and December) i got an increase in work for my portfolio. And due to a retirement, resignation, and someone being let go, i became the 2nd most tenured person in the department. So i figured due to my seniority and huge increase in work/responsibility, i would get a big raise? But i only got 6%. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but with a huge increase in work, i expected my raise to at least match last years raise. My question is, should i bring this up with my boss and see if theres any room for negotiation? I really hate doing something like this, but for the amount of work i do, and the huge increase in my responsibilities, i feel i'm undervalued. I take on all extra work, keep all my original tasks, and hit all my deadlines while never complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a beautiful abomination that should be kicked out of the front rowers club. It'd be like having linemen that are better looking than Tom Brady. It's just not the done thing. He does look ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good things will come. Having said that, yes, I do think it's worth mentioning. You haven't been there long, but they clearly really need you!

ET80 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The world needs more @bucsfan333 and @LETSGOBROWNIES. They should start a podcast about football... But instead of a podcast, it should be a TV show. But instead of being about football, it should be about those two moving to New Orleans and solving crimes. I could play the role of the street smart pimp who keeps them in the know...I already have a catch phrase in mind for my character... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple quick questions though, do we actually solve the crimes or can we just stumble around the French Quarter questioning strippers? Is sobriety required?

It's Louisiana, so you might need a swamp expert for gators, snakes and spiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, yes, I do think it's worth mentioning. You haven't been there long, but they clearly really need you! The current climate of the economy on the rise and businesses and job opportunities increases? Get the raise, you have more work, they have two less people, and i assume you’ve increased your skill level. I would ask for 14% more honestly. (On top of the 6%) if they say no just look for better job opportunities. Idk what you do so it might be different but ive constantly see people settling for what ever wage there current job has to offer because there friends or they have the “well i guess they cant afford it” attitude. Had a coworker who hardcore thought that getting paid $11 was fine because “the manager doesnt control wage corporate made that decision so its not there fault” to which i told him its not his fault either. He left and got paid 18.50 at a new job and has had raised since. Dont get stuck with bull crap corporate loyalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, we can probably weave that into a running joke. Bucs: We're on the case! Pimp ET: Say baby, you ain't solved no case in three years! LETSGO: What about that time we solved the case of the guy peeing on Bourbon Street? Pimp ET: Say baby, that was YOU! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, we do need a guy walking around with a boombox over his head, playing their theme music as they walk around. I was thinking this as their theme song: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The night I had on bourbon street is the most regrettable fun I had in-front of my parents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
