I got feedback that I’m not advocating for myself enough, but when I asked for a raise, I was told to wait until next cycle. So which is it? Speak up or stay in line? I’m tired of these mixed messages where you’re expected to be ambitious but punished when you actually are. How do you push without being labeled difficult?

Are you underpaid compared to industry standard? If so, I would guess they are saying whatever they can say to put off outright denying you a raise and causing you to leave. There is nothing wrong with wanting to talk to them about a raise, and "wait until next cycle" is a valid response to that. You can either keep waiting, or start job hunting.

Facts. A lot of people go from 0 - 100 way too fast

They may not have anything this cycle. And the first thing you did on advocating for yourself was bring up a pay raise.

That’s like my manager telling someone they need to have a report done by end of week, they they complete it in 5 minutes with hella errors.

For me, I usually wait until next cycle to see if they follow through. If they kick it to next cycle, then I start looking

So I get that in a corporate set up, you are supposed to be sharp and witty and think on your feet. Trouble is, I am extremely slow with comebacks. (Think Ross in Friends/Amy in B99) at the crunch moment, I generally end up not being able to give a good roast back. Unfortunately the best of them come to me like a few hours later (dinner/shower/TV) and I am left ruing and amazing opportunity to have gotten one back. I am awful at jibes and roasts.

Anyone else suffer from this?

Salam, Ramadan Mubarak! Anyone trying to maintain some level of strength training during Ramadan? I know it’s ideal to lift after iftar (maybe after dates/water + magrib and before dinner) but wonder if it is doable to squeeze in a 30-40 min training session right before iftar (for time saving purposes)?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

User experience mgr salary? I support six product teams and eight reports. 20+ years experience

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
