Hey all! So I need some advice. I have been working in the same role at the same company for over 3 years now without a title change. It's a small company so I don't expect a title change. The issue is a year ago they "added" to my responsibilities in a half baked google doc shared via zoom screenshare, without having me sign an official updated job description, is that normal? Should I just continue going by my original job description? I have nothing in writing technically

As a rule, significant additional responsibility at a minimum requires a title change.

Honestly, that's not even so much for you as a contributor, but for company organization and understanding what is required from staff at different levels and progressions when hiring.

It should be a title change and additional dollars, but title change the minimum.
Even if it's adding the phrase 'senior' to the name of the current role.

You could say you are doing a self evaluation, and asked for access to the Google doc, and literally do that; look at your deliverables, accomplishments, responsibilities, and business impact/outcomes, and make the argument for Senior or Manager as a current title addition.

If that is not possible, it is more dollars in salary. If that is not possible, start marketing yourself so you can be scooped out for new opportunities.

That seems very sketchy (though I’m no expert). They’re basically paying you the same but you’re doing more work than originally agreed upon. I would bring this up to your manager esp if you feel you deserve more

Bring it up during your yearly review. Prepare a document listing all of your responsibilities and be ready to speak to each one. Have a title and compensation in mind, and be prepared to negotiate. Coming in with everything clearly outlined shows professionalism and commitment—qualities that small companies value.

The Google Doc may not be something anyone is taking seriously, sometimes management comes up with things like that and they're almost aspirational. Just do the job you're getting paid to do. If anyone tells you you're expected to do something else, or something more, stand your ground and explain it's not part of your job. If they want to promote you and give you a salary bump, that's another story.

My title listed here is not my title. My last change was to reflect how others in similar positions are called. My responsibilities are the same.

I'm in the same boat :(

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
