I have been working at my company for right around 4 years. Recently, one of my colleagues left to pursue other opportunities. I am left with most of his work and my tasks as well. How do I ask for a raise or at least some of my current position responsibilities taken away. Mind you, I enjoy doing the tasks of his job.

Decide which you want more - more money or less responsibilities - then schedule a 1:1 with your manager. If you want to do the work for more money, make the case for a raise based on your increased workload and cite data to back it up. "Since taking over x's work, I've produced y$...." type thing. If you'd rather go back to your normal workload, tell them that the extra work is making it difficult for you to stay on top of your existing tasks and ask them for a timeline on when they expect the vacant position to be filled.

I would ask for a title change and comp adjust

I'd suggest you jot down some notes about the extra tasks you're being asked to handle. You can make a good case for a raise by pointing out that you've grown in the job, and you're gotten better at your own job. And now you're taking on extra tasks. Given your work ethic, and the extra responsibility, you should get a salary bump.

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

Currently I work for a small company that does the construction of small cell utility poles and roof top sites for the major cell carriers like VZW, T-mobile, AT&T and so on. I am a project coordinator but I do everything under the sun. Created project tracker. Submitti bids, sourcing material, negotiating price on materials, handling post construction inspections, scheduling sub contractors, notifying stakeholders, coordinating with construction managers - property owners - building management.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
