Should I ask for a raise?
I hope this doesn't seem insensitive because I know most of you are searching for work. Believe me, I was in your shoes not so long ago and I remember the agony and heartache but I need opinions. I can't post to Facebook because I broke my own rules about not friending people at work. So...
I will start by saying that I really love the company I work for and my job, though it was not without some problems early on. I was hired for a position that I wasn't doing at first. Long story but my original "boss" was demoted and he took the duties of my position back and I was shoved into basically an Administrative Assistant/Accountant/Purchasing position. Still had my original title and pay but I couldn't go home satisfied that I ordered pencils and coffee and did a couple of spreadsheets. Finally a new manager was hired and I was given my original job. We get raises at the beginning of each year and my raises have been decent. Thing is, I'm now still juggling the duties of Accountant/Administrative Assistant/Purchasing and now my original position Production Scheduler. And I do a good job at it but I'm feeling like I am doing the job of at least two people if not three.
Would you ask for a raise if you were in my position? Especially if you share an open space with three people who spend all day on their phones while you run around like a chicken with your head cut off all day?
After being unemployed and then underemployed for a total of 4 years before finding this job, I don't want to rock the boat. Not that I think I will be fired, it's just asking for more money is not an easy thing.
I would have a short but concise list of all your job duties and how they helped make more money in the long run. Have these as points and examples of why you deserve a raise. Whatever you do, do not be negative about other employees! No boss like keys negativity. Above all, make an appointment, be on time with a big smile and a go for it attitude
Keep doing what you're doing. You are a valuable asset. Your blessing is on the way. Promise.
Yes, you should ask for a raise. However you need to give your case as to why. List all of the things you do, and make a list of your successes. Do not make ultimatums, they never end well, annd do not make empty threats either (ex. I will leave if I don't get this). Prove to them you deserve this.
In most cases you won't get it unless you ask. If you feel you deserve more, make your feelings known to your supervisor. You don't know until you try. Do it now so you can save more for the holidays. Good luck!
Be confident in your education and your ability to do the job you're worth it they see it now it is up to you to get compensated for it
Everyone that does a good job deserve to earn what they're worth and you've shown your worth so ask for your raise
Absolutely, make a list of your original responsibilities and the additional things you have now taken on. Remind them how vital you are. It takes time to replace and retrain someone. It’s much easier to keep you happy!
Ask for a raise it doesn't hurt to ask
I think it was good for you to ask for a raise. My last job i was @ they paid really well but at the same time they wanted you to work 7 days a week
Hello everyone, Today I would like to address the subject of a "raise" and how should one approach their boss in getting one. There is a difference between a "raise" and a performance increase and they are not interchangeable. A raise elevates your status (promotion) while a performance increase is based well, on your performance. Making more money on your job isn't a raise, a raise is when you are lifted up ,going from a regular associate to a lead/supervisor,, to an assistant manager and then to a manager. In closing, a performance increase is based upon, accomplishments and a raise is based upon meeting a certain criteria.
