Best advice I got from a team leader was to not work extra hours and push extra, because management then would expect extra all the time.

Manager here. Yes, if you work hard you'll get more work. That gives you a right to ask for more money. Speak up If you think you deserve it

At my company we increase pay as a matter of fact should the skill and dedication merit it. We don't squirrel it away until it's begged for.

The biggest fuck-up on the team has been here 5 years and makes more than everyone else. I've been here 11 and make the same as a new hire.

Trick is to get them good and reliant on you, and then make them outbid their competitors for your time.

First rule is never be irreplaceable. You won't get promotions inside the company if they can't replace your position.

If you're irreplaceable then you're unpromotable

I'm getting promoted to a position where I'll see my previous operation fall to ruin while supposedly overseeing it's safety. BUT MONEY!

but you're not ungivearaiseable

That's fine. That means they'll be willing to pay me the promoted salary but keep me in that position.

Maybe you won’t be promoted but you will be paid more

I know that story, it ends with a pay increase at your next review when you ask for it.

I don't understand these things. The more valuable you are to your boss, the more people he has to pay to replace you. Ergo: MORE PAY

Or simply asking for a raise as to compensate for the new responsibility

8 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

This has never not worked for me. But if you don't ask, it doesn't take long before you're doing more than everyone, for less than everyone

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

that's more reasonable demand than reward in most cases.

When it comes to a review use your new responsibilities as a reason for pay rise. You always pay tradesmen after doing the job not before.

I just talked to my boss about doing other people's job s and his reply was oh well, I do that too. Sympathy is not good a management style.

He could probably come up with a better one but it sounds like he's too busy doing other people's job instead

Former manager here, if I gave you more responsibilities, I'd be checking to see if you can handle it before promoting you.
