Check around and see what comparable jobs are paying. Then, armed with this evidence, request a private meeting to discuss the issue. Explain that your current situation si such that you may soon be paying to work. If she's not willing to budge, consider updating your resume and looking for a different position.

Well the best thing to do is keep a diary of the extra work you have done.  When your diary satisfies you, show him it and ask for a raise.  Tell him, I am able to do two jobs at once and after working hard for this company I am hoping to get a raise.  Because if you ask for less responsibility, they might disrespect you.  But you sound like your being pushed over.  So keep the diary and then hand it to him/her.

Do not tell your boss that she makes mistakes if you want to keep your job and get decent raises.\n\nYou would do better to suggest a different solution when you see a correctable mistake.\n\nTake care,\nTroy

Line up a new job first, then approach your boss and tell him/her that you have been offered a position on better money. They will either say to take it or they may try to offer you more to stay. Either way you have a job after you walk out of the office, and who knows, if they offer you more money you may find you like the job you have now because the money is worthwhile and you don,t need to change. Also if they come up with more money tell the people at your new job. They may come up with more again to try and grab you for your experience.\n\nThis is the employment game.\n\nGood luck playing.

First...don't just ask for the raise.  You need to reason for it.  Tell your boss you need an hour of their time (30minutes, whatever) and make sure you're prepared.\nTell them what you now do, b/c they might not know. (trust me, i'm a boss..i don't always know what's going on).  List the areas that have been added since you took the position, research  what you do would be paid at another institution (salary.com or otherwise search for it), talk frank about the fact that it is a lot that you've done and how much you ENJOY you're job and the people you work with, and you can boast about yourself some too (not too much, but if you've got flawless attendance, trot that pony out)\n     Have a predetermined amount that you feel would be equitable for you to stay.  If you're making $32k in NYC, that's not so much b/c your cost of living is so high.  Know what is the least amount of an increase you will accept and start well above.  The 30% earlier is a good estimate but research it and back it up.\n    Whatever you do, stay as emotionless as you can about this (ridiculous to ask but try).  Emotion isn't usually bankable, cold hard facts can make your boss more willing to listen.  Don't go throwing around ultimatums, don't do the "If I don't get paid I'm leaving" routine, b/c 9 times out of 10 you'll go.  Have a gameplan, stick to it.  If you feel that the meeting is getting out of hand or that you are getting too emotional, simply tell them that you just wanted to bring it to their attention and that time's wasting and there's work to be done.  Ask for them to just follow-up with you within a week..2 days..etc. and make sure they do.  If they don't...then they've given you the answer.\n  Bottom line...you have the job but not the equitable pay.

Start making her pay for her own share.There is no reason why she cannot support herself,since she is obviously employed by the job you got her and her other job.As for her getting mad,make a tally sheet of what she has cost you in car stuff,meals,groceries etc and if she starts getting snarky about it, hand her the list and tell her she either pays up or shuts up.I know it's tough, but she is walking all over you and you need to put a stop to it.As for the job, either talk to HR or your boss.I know it's tough to do, believe me, but things will be better in the long run.And if there are still job issues, worse case scenario:talk to a lawyer about discrimination.Good luck!

Your reason was very poor.\n\nWhat have you done in the last 6 years to increase your value to the company?  What are you doing today to increase the profits of your employer?  What can you do tomorrow to increase the profits of your employer?  What are you doing to improve relationships with your company's clients?  What are you doing to increase the morale of the company?\n\nAnswer those questions.. take your answers to your boss, explain those answers to him, and tell him what you believe you are worth.\n\nIf you can't answer those questions, you have a BIG problem.

When you have paid your dues and have become valuable enough to your employer that they feel this is a justified salary. \n\nMost employers don't start you off at a huge wage until you prove your worth.

Companies have a salary range for each job, and it is unlikely they hired you at the top.\n\nDo not be afraid to ask for more money, but do it professionally, and don't go on and on about it. Never whine about needing more money. Also ask when you would be considered for a merit increase. \n\n"I love the opportunity with your organization, and will prove myself an asset. I would appreciate, however, your consideration for an increase of 10% in the base, which will put me where I need to be". If you ask for 10%, you may get 5%.\n\nIf they say they can't , and you want the job, accept with enthusiastiasm and say you will prove yourself worth more.\n\nDo not know your sex, but men frequently are hired at higher salaries because they are less afraid to negotiate. Women often take the first offer. This proves the point: ask for more money.

make a list of things to show your boss and he might\n raise your salary. If that  dose not work, work a little harder. Because my mother`s boss just rasid her salary just because she worked hard and never asked her boss and it just happend like that. She was\nlate a couple times but she had faith in her that she could hard and never get in trouble and she did it. You have to belevie in your self and have faith in your self just like my mother and she trusted her self. And I know you can do all those things my mother did. All you have to do is all those thing if you want to. \n\nHope this helps!

Just go to your manager, say "when you have a sec, could we have a chat?" That way, the ball is in their court. Make the meeting informal (as much as possible), tell him/her that you've been offered another job (don't say that you looked for the job, it came to you), but you really love this place and don't know if you want to leave. The manager will probably ask why don't you stay? Then you can talk about money. Don't be forceful as though you "deserve" a raise....\nGood luck!

Do not work for someone else, you will become a slave to them. They will tell you how much you get paid, and when and where to work.  Find people who work for themselves and they say things similar to what I have mentioned.\n\nYou want more info, get in touch with me.

I have had the same problem in the past well it was kind of a mutual thing.  Things are different now  because we have history.  The best advice I can give you is to use the time you have at your job to do it well and exceed your boss's standards.  After some time, they will see that you are a great asset.

Definitely bring it up with your boss!!  If you handle this in a professional manner, your boss may be very impressed that you are being proactive and it will reflect well on you.  If you just wait for the money to magically appear on your paycheck, then you are not being realistic.  Money appears in your paycheck because your boss requested it, not by itself.\n\nMy recommendation is to request an appointment with your boss, preferably when you can speak privately.  Prepare a list of your duties that you had for the first 2 months in your job, and another list of the additional duties you have fulfilled for the last month since the secretary was fired.  Ask what the company has planned for the position since it's been vacant, and if they do not plan to hire anyone new, let your boss know that you are working harder than before and ask for a raise.  If they are planning to hire a new person for the position, ask for the raise to cover the period when you've been doing the extra work (the last month plus however long it takes them to fill the position).  \n\nRemember that you have nothing to lose by talking with your boss and asking for the raise.  It is completely normal to compensate an employee for taking on more responsibility, and if you're doing a good job, the boss will want to keep you and might even see this as a way to save money (pay you a higher salary instead of paying two people to do the job).  Good luck!

Listen to me, you got to do what's best for you and you're family. i have been in similar situation and have felt the same way. But to be honest with you: If you're boss was that nice, he/she would not have promised you a raise then turn around and gave it to somebody else. He/she is probably using you, because they know you need the job. \nWhat i would do if  i was you, is keep the job for now, while you look for another one, because you don't want to quit before you have a back up. that would be worse.  Like i always say: Cheap pay is better than no pay at all. Go to monster.com and put your resume online and, you don't have to do any foot work except for when they call you for an enterview, and somebody will call if you keep applying. I got a lot of calls for different jobs using monster.com. Also got my job in less than 5 days. \nI don't know how you're boss is i don't want to put them down, they should have never promised you something that they know they were not gonna fall through on and that's wrong nomatter how you look at it.\n\nsorry it was so long. But i know how you feel.\n\nGet crackin' and post that resume.
