I am not sure how to go about this. The company ive worked at for the past 6 years just got bought by a large international brand. My former owners are still running our business and slowly handing over control. The goal is they'll retire on the sale, and the new owners will internally promote within our company. Im in line for that promotion (not an assumption, its been told to me several times verbally). However, with me slowly learning more to take over I know im being underpaid(SEE COMMENTS)

So I guess my question is how do I ask for a very substantial raise? When I say I am being underpaid I mean GROSSLY. ive been our manager for a few years now, and learned recently our brand new staff with only 1 responsibility get paid only a few dollars less than me an hr. Granted I understand that was a low blow on the old owners, but can I hold the new owners responsible for waging that pay discrepancy?

A large international brand likely has a robust hr structure with established salary bands for organizational levels. You should expect that and highlight you’ve been underpaid and expect to have salary adjusted as per the appropriate salary bands.

And you should be pretty damn annoyed with the existing management team taking advantage of you. Maybe you can negotiate a raise NOW, before the transition.

I might have a spending problem. I don’t think (?) I have a full blown addiction, but I’m cleaning out my closet and finding stuff that is few years old, still with the tags on, and lots of duplicates. I get a dopamine hit when I find a good deal and I’m wondering if it’s going too far. I can pay my bills, but I’m wasting a lot of $$ on things I don’t need. I have multiple family members who are/were addicts and hoarders and my own behavior is making me nervous. Any other big shoppers out there?
