I asked for a raise today because they’ve been piling extra work on me. My manager said they can't change my hourly pay right now, but they offered me an extra five hours a week instead. To me, more hours just means more work, not a raise. Is this a standard management tactic to avoid paying people more, or is it time for me to find a new job?

Step back to what you were originally doing. When management inquires why, say you’re only doing what you’re being paid to. Plan your escape.

It's a compromise. It's either you accept or find the exit.

That’s not a compromise by the way the definition is your both meeting in the middle that’s a one sided proposal👍🏻

I have had a lot of success in my position at my firm. Clients have been extremely open with their appreciation and desire to work with me.

Is asking for 15-20k ridiculous when I think I have earned it?

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore? I’ve been at my (smaller) agency almost 5yrs and got one raise (a nice $12k bump) during that time—is that sufficient? Is one increase in that span normal? I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.

I am a clinical research coordinator working in Austin, Texas. I have my Masters in Cell & Molecular Biology and have a year of laboratory research experience.

I’ve been in my position for 5 months now. I make $27 hourly which amounts to about $51,000 yearly. Am I being under paid? Are all coordinator positions hourly? As a laboratory researcher I was salary :(

How do I go about asking for a raise or should I explore other companies or medical schools that have clinical research?
