Looking for advice:

Due to layoffs almost half a year ago , and now a complete overhaul of all management up to my CTO - I’m the only one left on my team with institutional knowledge of our barely documented bandaid filled environment.

How would one go about asking for a pay raise since we have been vastly underpaid and neglected by the company?

If you ask for a raise, you acquiesce now to being the sole person capable of, and responsible for, that institutional knowledge.

The layoffs were to save money, not spend more on existing resources.

If you value your time and sanity, ask what it takes to hire a new person. Then they will still view you as a team player when they offer to give you the raise as a way to keep you happy without the support.

If they give you the support, at least there is a chance that things will get better and set you up for a longer term senior role.

They’ve opened 4 new roles for my team, but the rate they have back filled for people on my team that had left is incredibly slow - 1 every 6-12 months. They are willing to hire people but bad at making it happen - in huge part I believe due to pay as well.

Will you leave if they don’t give you a raise? That might be your answer.

Fair point. And probably yes at that point
