Subject:RE: More responsibilities, but no more $ From:"Swallow, William" <WSwallow -at- courion -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 2 Aug 2001 07:50:04 -0400
The logical answer is to then not accept the additional responsibilities.
Rationally though, this might not be the best choice.
Why did they pull the pay increase? Did they validate their decision to do
so?
This doesn't have to be a difficult situation. Talk down to earth with your
manager. I'm sure you'll at least get an idea as to why the pay increase was
rejected. You can then make a decision from there.
Out of curiosity, what were these additional responsibilities? Were they
outside the scope of your job, or more in line with what you should be
doing? Also, are you not happy with your pay right now, or is it
comfortable? Would it still be comfortable with these extra duties?
Lots to consider here...
