I think it’s not just about covering, but how you performed during the period. Do you think you successfully achieved the goals you were asked to do plus the work those other people would be doing?
I’d say the only thing against you is that the people who you trained didn’t stay. A huge part of a senior role job is to recruit and retain people. It might sound unfair and a bit out of your control, but it often comes with the role.
If you believe you consistently delivered above your current grade and that the fact those people quit is unrelated to your leadership then there is no harm in asking for a raise and/or promo.
Hi. Thank you for the response. You bring up a couple good points. Yes, I do believe that the goals were achieved during that this time period.
Also, the part of the people leaving would usually be a bad sign. In this case however, the first person was a contractor that didn’t know how to use excel, and the second had to leave for personal reasons.
I might go ahead and ask my manager what they think. It just never seems to be the right time to ask for a raise, if that makes sense.
