I told my boss I was unhappy with my salary, and instead of giving me a raise, they promoted me. Now I have more responsibility for exactly the same money. Should I be grateful or start looking?

  • Simple! Go to HR and ask for the pay range of the job you are currently working. If you are within the range perhaps it’s time to start looking... because it seems you were duped!!! more

  • No one is ever happy or content with salary. Since we don't know how much you are paid, we can't if you are the problem or your boss. If you are... unhappy with industry above-average-pay you ma still be disappointed wherever you go. more

  • The answer is plain and simple, start looking. That promotion without a bump in salary is just another way of keeping the donkey breaking their back.

  • Promotion leads to pay rise. Not immediately, but gradually.

  • Clearly, your being watched to get you to work harder. Then if your not able to excite yourself, then they'll replace you with another one who's... voting to get out. Your companies not allowed to just cut you out, but build a profile, then accommodate you to see if your able to operate successfully. If you don't they'll tell you about they tried keeping you satisfied. If your not preforming to their levels then your advise to leave. Whatever organization you in has to share your profile with revenue Canada to even out the taxes. So it's not as hard for them to let you go. So it's best never say anything or be otherwise setup as they'll just promote another jackass instead. So choose carefully as I seen it happen countlessly as other businesses owners told me. Takecare.  more

    Just be yourself, whatever you feel comfortable with works out best for you. Be yourself and this promotion has benefits for you. If not today... someday. Master the tasks and ask for more! You will feel more confident in yourself and ready to seize the next opportunity, no matter where or when it happens. Best wishes  more

  • Isn't a raise supposed to follow a promotion?
    Anyways, If you're in search of any side business that you can do on your free time, not time... restricted. You can let me know. I have an opportunity for you. more
