A few months ago I posted that I was doing the job of three people and was thinking of asking for a raise.

I then stated that I was going to wait to see how our year went with hitting our goals, if we hot bonuses, etc

Well, fate interviened.. A month ago I was hospitalized with pneumonia and sepsis. I was in the hospital for 7 days and then bedridden at home for two weeks. At work, they had to divide my work between 4 people. I figured when I did go back it would be given back to me, but no! My bosses finally realized that I was overworked! We can't hire anyone but some of my work is still being done by others, which has helped because I'm not back to working full days yet. So maybe in the end the blessing isn't more money, but not having to go full throttle everyday. Oh and being alive because there were a few days in the hospital that I thought I was not going to make it!

Thanks to everyone for their comments and suggestions on my previous post. I have made a decision and thought I would share.

Even though I have been with the company for 3 years, this is the first year I have been doing the job I was hired for. If we make all of our production and shipping goals we will get a bonus in November. So, I have decided to wait to see if we get the bonus - that will give me a little more leverage.

Our review process will start in September and they are discussed in December, so I will bring up the raise then. Especially if we get the bonus.

That's where my head is now.

I am happy to say I am getting a raise. Been workin for Amazon in the warehouse and my supervisor finally noticed I was working hard. I am really good at making sure the safety regs are up to code and that the people I work with are productive. Promotion and raise here I come!

Just saw this article in Business Insider and thought I'd share it. Theres a lot of good thoughts in here (some might need to be converted for your particular situation but the principles translate pretty well. #whadayathink ? #raise #promotion #SelfAdvocacy

I was recently given a promotion at work and transferred to a new location...come to find out the new location they sent me too has been sold and is becoming a different store! I’m upset that they removed me from where I was at promised me a raise and then stuck it to me! The new owners seem nice kept my same pay but no raise! GM says he wasn’t aware that the store was being sold but I don’t believe one word! I depend on my job so I feel like I was left with no choice but to agree to stay with new owners... BUMMER

I've been at my job for 16 years and dont get the recognition or praise that I should. I have been overlooked and feel very disrespected. It's time for me to move on I think. I have been managing for the past 13 years and have put apps in and no return on anything. What's wrong with me? Or is it that none wants to deal with training me on something different

I currently work on a team that is structured with money director (my boss), two managers (myself and another), and 12 senior/junior analysts below us split between us.

I just found out the other manager put in his 2 weeks and will leave the team short handed at the management level. We currently have no immediate internal or external prospects for the other manager position. Is now the time to approach my boss about a raise as I will be the only manager over 12 individuals? What would be a good % to shoot for? My initial thoughts are 20%.
