The title was too low?

Same. WPP.

You talk to the person who relays the message to you, your boss usually, say thanks but you were really thinking about a different number. Show them what you’ve done to earn it over the past year. Then they’ll usually have to go talk to finance or their boss and make the case. I always try to get the most $$ I can for my folks. But these big co’s don’t like parting with $$$. You can usually get another couple grand.

This happened with a lot of my direct reports. It never felt ungrateful. I do the same thing when it comes to my pay. Your boss doesn’t necessarily control the purse-strings (sexist?). This is the way biz is done. There isn’t emotion involved on the company side, only the employee, in my experience. Now, you may. It get what you want, but at least you asked. They’ll never give you anythingu less you ask for it.

Working at small firm for 7 years. They created a new Staff Manager position to supervise and train the support staff in 1 office and other internal operation tasks. They promoted a paralegal into the position. They just asked me to take on the training across all offices because the Staff Manager is doing 50% paralegal work due to turnover. I told them if I were to take on a task of a manager, I should get a promotion and raise to do the task. They did not agree. What do you think?
