The time to ask for more money was when they asked you to take on more responsibilities.
They may have said we are adding additional responsibilities to your role for no additional pay anyway.
I would look for another position and add your experience in your current role to your resume.
Best wishes to you.
You weren’t stupid. You were kind and actually a good employee stepping up but unfortunately the employer apparently took you for granted.
My experience is that you go find another job while you’re still currently employed. Then you can negotiate for a higher salary if you would like to stay or actually leave for the higher salary job. But don’t leave the job until you find a new one. It’s so much harder to find a job when you’re unemployed then if you already have a job
That's the best answer
I’m sure with your experience by now you can find something that pays better…elsewhere
Leave. Start applying and get your resume out there.
By taking on the additional responsibilities on top of your current position. , you only showed mgmt that you had time on your hands to do more and needed more to do( double duty )
Unfortunately, you are not being valued . watch if you get another job and tell them your leaving , how fast they offer you more $ and if they don‘t , you will be SO much better off to have left in the long run 😊
When the request was made of you to support, did you ask questions? How long will I be back up? Is this an opportunity to advance? Is there extra training required. Is there a compensation change?
All of these questions were there to ask, before accepting the extra work.
When I request team members to accept extra work, I give them 24 hrs to think about it and come back to me to discuss.
I had only been there 2 weeks. Thought I was just helping out plus they didn't have to train any body as I had done the role in a previous employment. It was easy to just pass it all to me. Didn't know if was going to last though! You are right, I've been a fool and let them treat me this way. I thought they would increase my salary this April. Well, we live and learn.
Always look for the positive, they helped you get a certificate that will make you more valuable to someone else's company!!! Time to start looking for another role.
I would definitely find another job
Hang in there. Don't be discouraged. Show them it doesn't bother you. Wait until your next review. If they haven't changed their tune in your review, then begin looking for another job. That's what I had to do after losing thousands in commissions to a bad manager who treated everyone like an indentured servant. Give it a chance.
If they truly valued you as much as they say, they would pay you what you are worth.
Even if you’re in a fulfilling position, if they won’t acknowledge your contribution by compensating you appropriately, I would look for your next role.
I'm glad you're recognizing your worth and know that you deserve better. I hope you'll take the time to search for new opportunities. However, as you know, don't leave this job until you've secured a new position with a written offer letter. Don't rely on verbal promises or handshake agreements when they extend an offer.
Also, I know this might seem premature, but when you go to interviews, be mindful never to bring up anything negative about your current company, boss, or coworkers. Instead, you can say something like: 'I was ready for a change. We had someone leave, and my immediate manager assigned me their responsibilities. I had a great run; however, I knew I wanted to expand, learn, and grow more.' Avoid saying things like 'My responsibilities were added, but I wasn't compensated accordingly.
I worked in an office like this while I was in nursing school. It started out okay, but the more competent I seemed, the more they took advantage of me. They brought in another physician from a whole separate specialty and never hired a receptionist for his practice. I hated going to work anymore, but I couldn't easily just leave because it was owned by the hospital that was paying for my school tuition. I was bound by a contract to work for that hospital, and they wouldn't transfer me to another department because they needed me where I was. They would have to open up two positions if I wasn't there doing both jobs. As luck would have it, (after doing this for a little over a year) I had a medical emergency that required surgery and 2 weeks off work. Since it was unexpected leave, they didn't have anyone lined up to bring in from another clinic. Miss Boss Lady herself had to fill in for me most of those days. When I returned, I found that a 1/3 of my scheduling duties had been delegated to radiology. Which sounds weird, but they had me involved in things that had nothing to do with my office. And I also got a co-worker shortly after that. I asked why so many changes, and I was told that my job was completely "too difficult " for one person. Funny... because no one saw it that way when I had asked for help before. They acted like it was not only unnecessary, but also impossible. But apparently Ol' Helen had had an unfortunate 2 weeks gaining the perspective she deserved lol.
Maybe I’m missing something, but if you were hired and being paid for one role, why are you doing extra work for free? I agree you need to look elsewhere, but in the meantime...
"I understand there are no additional compensation options at this time. Given that, I’ll be focusing solely on the responsibilities of the role I was hired for and am being paid to do. If in the future you’d like to renegotiate my role/contract when funds allow, I’d be happy to revisit this conversation."
Take your experience elsewhere. You have Practice Coordinator experience. Get your pay raise where you will be valued. They are beyond using you.
Keep pressing them, they will give in
Maybe that's because you keep asking for a "rise". Try asking for a RAISE next time.
I'm actually an editor and I wouldn't make this kind of comment. It's not being helpful.
Continue to work, and try not to complain. Talk to the head of the company, or HR. Continue to try and negotiate with them. if they do not offer you any kind of raise, within about a week, then you should start to look for something else. Once you do that, and find a new job, give them a 2 weeks notice, and call it a day, and leave it at that. You do not even have to do that, a 2 week notice, its up to you.
Start looking elsewhere for employment that will properly compensate your value. Once you find one, then, if you want to stay with your current employer (understand that they are refusing to properly compensate you now, so they will most likely do it again), then give them an opportunity to counter the offer.
Start looking for another job and save all you can. Once you get the other position, pit in your notice to leave bases on the time you start the new position. Once you put in your notice to leave stop performing the duties of the position you are not getting paid for. The hope in this step is that they will terminate you so that you can then file unemployment to have a cushion between the two jobs. Just remember that once you start performing duties that are not in your job description before you discuss compensation the employer will feel like you are already performing the duties so there is no need to increase your rate. Good luck!
Do you actually think an employer can’t change or add additional duties to an employee? Unless there is a specific written contract an employer could terminate an employee with cause if the employee refuses to preform assignments.
I’ve been in a similar position. I thought if I just worked harder, put in more hours, stayed late showed up early, executed more responsibilities added to my plate, I would get the recognition and compensation I deserved. That I had earned. But unfortunately, many companies continue to add more and more to plates to see how much pepile are willing to manage. The more we manage it, thinking we’re proving our worth, the more complacent they assume we are with it. So they continue to add more because they know we handle it. Eventually, I burnt myself out, trying to juggle my plate in an effort to prove I deserved proper compensation and recognition. I was just a body to them and they were only interested in seeing how much I was actually willing to take .
Time to start looking for another job.
Get another job. You also have to realize they're not going to give any decent raises in the future- if any. It's just the company.
