NWR but I need your help...How to ask for a raise at work
Okay so here is the shortened version of the story.
My hours are 9-5 Monday thru Friday. There are many many times I get stuck leaving work at 6:30, some nights even 7. Im management so I dont get paid OT (Lord knows if I did then the house AND wedding would be paid off already).
The people I work with are lazy and whatever they dont get done I have to do because in the end it will come back to me (why wasnt this done blah blah blah) so to avoid that I do it. My supervisor gets out every freakin day at 4:30pm. I come to find out that all the things she is asked to do throughout the day she passes to me asking if I can help b/c shes just so busy. I dont know how to say no to anyone so I say yeah I'll help you. NOW....this backs me up with my stuff.
I havent had a raise since my promotion (2 yrs ago this August) and i bust my @ss more than everyone here. My boss has even asked me (more than once too this happened) to GIVE BACK MY SCHEDULED DAYS OFF b/c he needs help. As a matter of fact I have off Wednesday and Friday next week and he tells me that I have to come in. Nope sorry, you approved those days for me, Im not comming in.
So.......I feel that Im giving 150% in this stupid job and Im making crap money. People here talk and when I hear that regular agents are starting at 65,000 a YEAR and Im not, It kind of makes me think Im being taken advantage of.
Have any of you ever asked for a raise? How did you do it and what did you say? Did you ask your boss or the 'big guy' of your company?
(This isnt as short as I thought it would have been...Sorry ladies)
