Boss Tries To Give Employee More Work Without Changing Their Job Title And With A Tiny Raise, Employee Doesn’t Accept
There are two kinds of workers: those who change jobs in order to grow their careers in different companies, and those who stay with the same company for an extended period of time in the hopes of being promoted to a higher position. Both types of people work harder to achieve their goals, but their success is contingent on how much the company owners value their employees.
OP started working for a new company a year ago and got the hint of being promoted since her supervisor was going to leave her role to relocate abroad. OP had already started taking on a few responsibilities from her supervisor with excitement about getting the new role. The manager contacted OP to discuss the new placement with the condition that she work for reduced pay because she lacked the essential experience to obtain the regular salary for the supervisor role. OP declined to change her employment status for the promised salary and opted to remain in her previous post. Op’s boss was upset by OP’s response, but he eventually accepted her narrative and awarded her a bonus for the extra work she did to help with the workload after the supervisor left. OP also got promoted with a higher offer from her boss after working one more year in the same company.
