In order to boost your salary you’d most likely need to go elsewhere.
Sadly loyalty and staying at a company doesn’t pay and this is an all too common occurrence.
Incoming hires are making more than current employee. You can leverage this for a salary adjustment.
My two coworkers did and got a large raise and promotion. Then a year later got 20k retention bonus.
That being said, advocate for yourself! Make your case with solid figures backing up your performance highlights and worth. If they don't see your value, it's time to find a company who does...ideally one with a more progressive approach to compensation. 😉 Good luck!
Thank you for the thoughtful response. I really appreciate your insight!
Hi there! Situations like these are why I love my job and simultaneously, what makes it so challenging. If I was brought in to a scenario like this, I would immediately bring to light the potential for pay compression. If you don't know what that is, it's when a manager and one of their direct reports have pay that is closer together than it should be, particularly when you factor in the challenges that come with leading a team. (Part 1 of 2)
(Part 2) I would immediately suggest that the hiring manager receive an additional bump to avoid this situation, and also to look at their position in their pay range with fresh eyes. Are they still where we would expect them to be in range, or does that need to be reassessed? In this scenario, I would likely be advocating hard for an increase for you. I'm sorry you're in this situation. For what it's worth, I don't get the impression that a lot of line managers do this intentionally.
Do you want to perpetuate the undervaluation of the role? I would hire at the highest salary you can offer! Why undercut someone as your first action as their boss?
Yeah, stinky that you didn't get paid more back then but ow you have some leverage to make even more going forward.
Was definitely never considering bringing them in lower, the role warrants the pay and they are worth it. I don’t believe that my bosses will be open to any sort of negotiation as a result which is where I am struggling. Sort of like “you weren’t willing to pay me that when I asked so why now?” I’m worried that my loyalty is being taken advantage of which is unfortunate because I truly do enjoy working for them. I’m just having a hard time knowing that I’m worth more, and they know it.
So I just thought about this.
You are ABLE to offer doesn’t mean you have to offer a higher salary. Is what you’re making align with the market
