I took over the position of Night Supervisor about 4 weeks ago.  I was promised a giant pay raise, and so far, I have not recieved anything.  The boss always says we have to sit down and talk about it, and, meanwhile, I am busting my butt to be babysitter for the other employees, working overtime that I am not getting paid for, and feeling used and exhausted.  I love my job, I just do not want to be supervisor.  What do I say?

Tell your boss  to either raise the pay more and pay the price everyday or you quit. Most likely he won't like to lose you. Otherwise, the only problem is finding another job.

I would tell him thanks to all of his great training and supervisory skills you feel ready to take a step up in the company....it is a step up, right?  Just let him know that you appreciated everything he has taught you and that you can't wait to sing his praises in another department....and make sure that is all that you do.  \n\nQuite honestly, if you have told ANYONE at work about this move.....he already knows.   Make sure you are available to help train or support the person who takes your place.....and once again DO NOT say anything negative about the boss to the new person.  That stuff travels faster then hot lava.\n\nGood luck in your new job!

How do you feel about your current job? Besides the pay, do you get along with your coworkers? Is your boss constantly checking up on you and questioning your work, or does s/he respect you and give you space to work freely?\n\nThese are the sorts of questions that I ask myself in a situation like your own. While money is very important, unless I was getting offered a lot more money, I would stay where I was if I felt comfortable there.\n\nHow I look at it is that you're at work for (at least) eight hours a day. When you're not at work, or sleeping, you're either getting ready for work or unwinding from work - so it is far better to find a place that you like to work at as it is essentially a second home.

Talk with the owners about this. \n\nSay for instance, I have noticed several of the girls have been given a promotion for Smoothie Supervisor. Is there a reason WHY I haven't? What can I do to get the next Supervisors position? What qualifications do I need in order to get a Supervisors Position?

Yes I went through the same thing.  I found at that point there is nothing you can do.  Although you probably never deserved to be in this sitution I find that usually people need to gang up on one person and bully them.  It is not acceptable.  I went on meds because of it and when I was done working there I came off of the meds.  Management was involved in this case and I was approached by a laywer to sue these people.  I choose not to, the reason being that it would have cause more stress.  I now have a better job with better pay and I no longer take meds.  Please hang in there.  Start looking for a new job right now.  They cant fire you without a just cause, worse come to worse you will be asked to leave with two weeks pay.  But find a new job, being unhappy is not worth it.

Tell everyone how much you've enjoyed working with them. Thank them for any assistance/ training etc. they gave you. Tell them if they want to go further to just keep trying. Don't boast or rub it in and generally try to be normal for your last 2 weeks. Well done!

sounds like you are very well spoken and you have your "ducks in a row".\ni would present your case to your supervisor and ask why you are compensated signifcantly less than the people that you are training.\nare you getting compensated for training??  often times, in my experience, trainers usually received more money for training or some other type of compensation or "perk" for the extra work.\nit's very tricky because you don't want to "rock the boat", however, long term employees get the "short end of the stick" sometimes when it comes to wages b/c the employer forgets about their wages and does not perform a wage "wrap" when inflation raises wages in the entry workforce.\ni have also known management employees fight the company b/c they have dedicated many years to the company and someone with a degree comes in and in 2 years they are making the same or more than they are....after many more years of experience.\nthis often leads to management turnover in companies...which i wish they would realize.\n\ni would present your case to your immediate supervisor (or who ever has influence over your salary) and inquire about the possibilty of a raise due to the wages of the newcomers and the fact that you are training them.\nbe prepared for them to tell you that obtaining a degree will help you get there....try to compromise on this.  see if they will increase your wage based on credits earned.  this way you can take one or two classes a semester and start to earn more after 1 semester.  also, get in writing exactly what you agree upon.\n\ni experienced this at the last company i worked for....a supervisor was being deterred from promotion because of his education.  first, he was told that any degree would help.  so, he got his associate's.  then, they said he'd need his bachelor's.  well, he never got anything in writing so he had to deal with the "run around" he was getting from upper management and HR.\n\ni wish you luck, but please have a back up plan in mind in case they tell you "tough luck".\nstart looking into other opportunities at other companies. perhaps, you could find a better salary somewhere else.\n\ntake care.\n\nP.S.\nkeep any negotiations to yourself.  i've seen people blab about their agreements with the company and b/c of it the company renegged or retaliated in some way.

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!

You could try getting another job.  Ask how you could help your company more.  Maybe they are downgrading you because you are not performing up to their expectations.  Why do you think god is mad at you?  You need to deal with that.  You can get ahead based on your own efforts and abilities.  If your salary didn't change, maybe it's no big deal.  Look for opportunities and work for them.  Don't wait for your company to take care of you.  They won't.

If you're doing a good job, you should get a raise once a year. If you've been there a year, you should  ask your boss about a raise, and if they still don't give you one, I'd start looking for another job.\n\nAs far as a promotion, 42 employees is a small company, so maybe there are no higher positions for them to promote you to. Have you been passed over for a promotion?

Im an administrative assisstant I have about the same work schedule I have worked here for almost 3 years. I make about $12 an hour. Have u been at that job for over a year? You should request a raise, they will probly give it to you, they dont want to lose you.

sound like he didn't think you would get the job.  I'd remind him of what he said.  If he still feels the same way I'd head off to the new job telling him he can join you if he'd like.  If after what you would consider a reasonable amount of time he still feels the same way I'd take my job over him.  He's being selfish.

Oh you are so screwed.  You just put in a 6 week notice at your current job.  Your boss is going to either look for your replacement, or look to get rid of your position and you agreed to stay and let her do that to you.\n\nI know you think your boss is your friend and that she would never do this to you.  But her duty is to the company and she is doing what is best for her company.\n\nRarely, and I emphasize rarely, do counter offers ever work out well for the employee that stays.   By looking for, and finding, another job you let your current boss know that you are going to leave eventually, and you are not dedicated to the company.   Workers that are looked at in those ways never get raises or promotions and end up very unhappy and unemployed.\n\nGood luck to you, you're going to need it.

I find it best to be very positive every minute of the day.  Sucking-up to the person who does the promoting also , sadly helps.  Don't gossip or listen to gossip.  Talk about events, places, things, but NEVER people. If you deal w/customers or clients, constantly go over & beyond the call of duty... it will get back to your supervisor.  Good Luck

Always ask yourself this question, "Can I do anything about this?"  If the answer is yes, then do it, if the answer is no, then don't bother stressing about it.  In this case, I think the answer is yes, just talk to your replacement and tell him you've decided not to quit after all, end of problem.

Sounds like a retail or restaurant job. Used to happen to me. The best thing to do is be honest with them. "I'm greatful for all of the hours you've given me, but Unfortunately I don't feel it's what's best for me at the moment." Elaborate if you need to, but tell them how you feel. You're a person, not a robot. And if it's the kind of company that will fire you for being open and honest with them, then perphaps it would be best to seperate from them in any case. There'll always be another job, but i don't believe it will get to that. I'm positive they'll understand. Good luck.
