wow obviously you are a sharp girl, but you have been misled. i was for years. if you truly believe there's a lot of money in jobs at hotels, you might want to find out exactly how much each position pays. not by asking the person there in the position, but in another way. try to apply in other hotel positions for all the positions you think you are going to move up to and see how much they pay. you can look online and even call around the country. try here in hawaii. \n\nafter you find out, re-evaluate if that is where you want to spend your precious and valuable time. once your time is gone it is gone forever. there is prestige and security if you are willing to play the games in having a job. but remember, owners can change hands and management can release you at any time. read rich dad poor dad and see if you are preparing for your retirement or just putting in time. \n\njobs never pay us what we are worth. they only pay us what we can be replaced for. the only way to acquire our true value is to take ownership of our lives and our finances. when we put equity in ourselves and use jobs as a stepping stone for our own businesses, then we can earn our worth. it is not as hard as you think. \n\nif you still want to further your career in resorts/hotels, why not put that degree to use and advertize yourself all over the country and receive all kinds of offers. most are hungry for new hands. once you have your offers in your hands, and after you have done better at your position than anyone else, ask for your raise, if they don't appreciate you find someone who does, and move.

I can completely relate to your situation. I think it might be worth it to stay at your current job because I really feel that it takes about 2-3 months to warm up to a new job and new work environment. You might not like some of the task you are doing now, but as you learn and have more experience at your workplace, your boss will be able to see that you are capable of doing the tasks given and will be more willing to give you tasks that challenge you. Even so, if you work at a larger company, you may be able to transfer to different departments within the company. So, you should definitely stay a while and explore what the company has to offer!

You are really getting screwed. $8.50 an hour? How do you live off that? You seriously need to look for a new job. Florida is not as expensive to live in and some parts of America, but dayum. Just come right out and tell him that you are worth more than that. But from what I am seeing in this country he will probably let you go and go and hire someone else for the same or less. Use him as a stepping stone, and look for another job that pays more. It's his loss not yours.

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.

Start shopping the job market, and I don't mean sit on the computer. Get out and go door to door. Companies like to see what type of person you are and how well you handle yourself. See what is out there. See if you get some job offers. If they look good, then I'd use that as leverage in your current job to advance or get a pay raise. If they aren't willing to do it, then go to the new job. Don't waste your time in a company that isn't going anywhere, or is not willing to treat their people well, when that is time you could be investing in an up and coming company with a better atmosphere, and promotion potential.

Do SOMETHING about it! I don't know your situation but if you don't you could be kissing your job goodbye and for what? Someone ELSES mistake? Thats crazy\n\nIf you lost your job how would you feel, knowing what you know about the situation and that you didnt do anything?\nYoure being too optimistic if you know that losing your job is an actual option and saying that you effectively let people take your employment of all things away from you, when you can do something about it.Then you really would have yourself to blame.\n\nI'm not meaning to be harsh plus I don't know what your workplace is but do something, see someone, and sort this out because if you are just telling the truth what is there to hide or be scared for?

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!

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.

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.

This is all reasonable for your perspective employer to ask.  Be honest and intelligent with your answers. Saying that you need the money might be true, but the hiring person wants to know why this job and company in particular. SELL YOURSELF! Don't expect the job to be handed to you.

I'd go with the fact of it's not a good fit for you, you feel you have no opportunity for advancement, and that you've gone as far as you think you're going to go with that company, and that you're looking for a change. \n\nGood luck!!!

Be honest with your boss. Tell him that you enjoy your job, and you think you are an asset to the company. Hopefully your charts have examples of how you have helped the company to make more money. Because that's how you can convince him that you deserve a bigger piece of the pie.

Talk to the management about it first. Tell them how you feel. It would'nt hurt to check around first to see what you can get paid elsewhere and if they are hiring.Get all your facts straight before talking to them. Write down all your points you want to make and bring it in with you.   >GOOD LUCK !!!

If I were you I would definitely look for another job.  It is quite apparent that you will not be getting a promotion.  If you don't want to leave, then ask your boss in a respectful way why he won't give you the promotion.  Maybe he has you in mind for another position.  Good Luck!

I think it is acceptable to ask if the right time presents itself. So set the conversation to where you can mention it, nonchalantly. Regardless though it is important for you to figure out is this a job you really want, are you tired of your old job? If so go for it anyways regardless of the salary. Your family will support you.
