Been working for a few years at a job that was only meant to build my resume in my field. It's a bit of a trap to be fair. I asked for a rise today based on my way above average numbers and long service. What should I do as a follow up? What should I expect?
Don't get your hopes up, but don't be dissuaded either. It all depends on context obviously of where you work; how you get on with people; how long exactlty etc; but you won't get a raise if you don't ever enquire. The days of employers just giving someone a raise on their behalf never really existed and pay rise through promotions are being cracked down culturally for increased "standing" or "opertunitities" instead across the board in office or convience store enviroments.Remember rules of Aquisition 9, 91 and 211. They will serve you well.
I think I was on a similar position as you tho probably worse.Got in from 2 years of neeting for an office but minimum wage job.A year later I noticed we still haven't got a dedicated finance guy, so I started asking if I can do it with a request of them financing my finance/accounting class.They didn't finance me because "you can easily look it up on youtube or google" but I did get the position.Now I have an added jobdesc of finance while keeping my original jobdesk with the excuse that "your original jobdesk load is reduced because of the market" which is kinda true.So now I got a 27% or so raise.Have I been duped or got into it with unfavourable terms? Yes.
>>35067426This guy gets it.I pissed off the office lady years ago and I still get treated like shit some times. Let me look at them rules.
>>35067402first thing you should do is find a new job. once its all lined up you ask them to beat the offer. they will probably let you go. any other approach depends on generosity and kindness from others.
>>35067402>What should I do as a follow up?Update your resume and start interviewing elsewhere.
>>35067561>>35067708They lead me along for years about the position I wanted for my resume. I did tell them I had applications out for a night job.
Wil update today see what I hear back. Even a buck would be nice.
>>35067426>Remember rules of Aquisition 9, 91 and 211. They will serve you well.I hate when ferengishits make sense
>>35072606Only about half the rules are good. The other half are punch lines.

Got a verbal warning today for what is somewhat obviously a computer error.Interesting timing.
