#bloomIng-LESS

I've been working at my job for a few years and my pay hasn't changed. My responsibilities have only gotten a little bit bigger but the growth of my responsibilities has been spread out over time. I feel that my growth as an employee hasn't been noticed but I'm feeling stagnant and I either want to ask for a raise or I want to make people aware of how much I get done. How should I proceed?

Ask for a raise. It's definitely time.

Hi Roxanne: I would set up a time to talk to your supervisor to (1) go over your work evaluations, discuss your responsibilities and accomplishments to date, and to ask about a raise in pay. (2) go over your employee manual or company policy to see confirm how raises are supposed to be given (before you meet with your supervisor.). (3) Ask your supervisor about taking on additional responsibilities and discuss what needs to be done to qualify for the next level on the pay scale. Hope this helps!

I would request some time with my boss and I would then lay out the groundwork of all the projects that I have undertaken since I began my position and company from when I first started to present. I would then state that after presenting this information that I would to request a raise. I also would have my original job description showing what my current duties are and how they have changed....

It's certainly time to ask for a raise. If your pay hasn't changed in three years, you're actually making less than when you began. Inflation makes your paycheck worth less. When you approach the conversation, you may start with inquiry about how to make more, how to advance, how your contributions benefit the company. I wouldn't approach the conversation with "I need to make more", "I've got bills to pay" etc. as those comments just make it seem like you can't manage your finances.
