What jobs are currently paying 85k?

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 would start looking. Maybe they are taking advantage that you like your job. which in itself is a big plus. You could earn more somewhere else and be miserable. It is the old question “ is the devil you know better than the devil you don’t?”
Some jobs are stepping stones, others are 10y careers! Which one is this? I'm reluctant to blame the office leadership for a situation that we don't have the whole story on. But it is clear that this is a stepping stone... you've gained good experience. Time to upgrade!
Hello, I've worked in Customer Service for the better part of my
adult life. When at my last
customer service job my boss
kept telling me how great of a
worker I was. A position for lead
agent became available and I
applied for it. I already had the skills
& was very knowledgeable and aware of what the job entailed.
I got passed over because of my
DEMAND for better pay or at least equal pay for my management
counterparts. IT was a we're un-
able to do that now, I lied and said
that I understood,went back to my
desk and packed all of my items and headed to the door and MY
manager at the time asked where
was I going? I said ( UNAPOLOGETICALLY) I'm going
to find employment elsewhere, someplace that I'm NOT just told how great and valuable that I am to the company but SHOWS it!
As far as I'm concerned: YOU can
make your mouth say ANYTHING,
I became a resident (in my mind) of
Missouri, the ' show me' state 💯
Yup... nowadays happening alot... k
Increase your self value and seek better opportunities when required!
All too common I'm afraid has happened to me and you don't get any extra recognition talk is cheap. Start looking for new job and move on is my advice.
Start looking, and be honest with interviewers: "I'm looking to be part of a team that values success." Dancing around it without putting down your current management is tough, but if you can learn it you're that much closer to a job that values you and what you bring to the table. Emphisas on value.
Alternatively, go the neutral route. "I'm worried about the rising cost of living." It says a lot without needing to say the implied part.
Either way, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I would have long sought other employment. If you don't value your own time, neither will anyone else.
Update our resume and start looking elsewhere. You should be trading value for value, and currently you have undervalued yourself, and they are just fine with that.
Please start looking for a new job as a project coordinator (while you're still employed at this one). It's time for you to move on to a company that values your skills more.. BUT , don't lose your cool, don't get upset and quit on the spot, just stay calm, do your job and start looking and apply for new jobs outside of work. Good luck.
Go find another job and leverage your current position, responsibilities, and experience to be valued higher at a new company.
And then tell the other people where you are going, and when you are leaving, if they ask how much you are making, tell them, and they might give you a large raise to match it.
But new company for sure.
Don't stay where you are not valued appropriately.
You should find a new job. Make sure your resume is filled up with everything you have been doing, including titles, classes, certifications, Etc.
My recommendation would be to not stay, if they match your new offer, then they could have done it all along.
Go somewhere, where they show you some respect from the start in the form of a good offer.
Keep your LinkedIn and all other job platform up to date and never turn down an interview.
Even if you do not want the job it is good practice and can be a confident boosting experience.
Unfortunately, Gannett is a failed company whose executives are trying to milk the very last dollars for themselves. To be blunt it is an “F everyone else, let’s see what I can get before it collapses“.
Suggest that you get paid an extra 10 hours a week, a time and 1/2.
See what they say, but you only work 40 hours, but get paid 50 @ 1.5x for the added 10 hours.
If they say No again, it's definitely time to leave, and find another job.
They'll be forced to hire another individual and have to pay them to do the job they should've been paying you for.
Everyone is saying that you should look for a new job, and they are correct. But it’s rough out there right now.
Companies will go as far as they can get away with to squeeze as much as they can out of employees. Right now due to simple economics, they can get away with a lot.
In a recession, corporations have an easy excuse to burden existing employees with more and more work so they don’t have to hire another worker. That’s all there is to it.
I can totally relate to what you’re going through. I was an Office Coordinator in a small business, and after two years I was basically running the company by myself. Whenever the boss went on vacation, I had the keys and managed the whole shop — but I was still treated and paid like a secretary.
When I finally asked for a raise during my performance evaluation, the boss spent an entire hour praising my work, but in the end only gave me a $1 per hour raise. It was so discouraging. Eventually, I found a better paying job and decided to take it. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out and now I’m unemployed.
Do I regret trying? Not at all. But it did make me reflect: sometimes the real choice is between accepting lower pay in a place where you feel stable and trusted, or chasing higher pay with the uncertainty of a new employer and new environment.
Stop talking an start looking for your next opportunity. There will be a company out there who will compensate you for your skills and experience.
Update linked in.. any certifications you've completed.. make yourself shine so much, regardless of your title right now, if you want management or something higher paying, reach for the stars!!
Legally they only have to pay you minimum wage for your contracted role as Receptionist, even though you’re doing way more. But since you’ve been covering Coordinator duties for 2 years, you can ask them formally (in writing) to review your role and pay. If they keep refusing, you can speak to ACAS for free advice or consider if it’s constructive dismissal. Bottom line: you’re not in the wrong, they’re just taking advantage."
You’ve asked multiple times, you’ve done everything they’ve asked of you and more. You’re not getting that raise. Even if they DID give it to you eventually, you’ll go through this every time you want a raise. Plus, so much time will pass that the amount you initially asked for won’t be enough to keep you ahead, or even in line, with inflation. Cut your losses and find a company that values you. Oh, and when you hand in your notice and they try to counter your other offer, don’t accept it. More than 90% of people who do, end up leaving within 6 months anyway. Nothing’s going to change with this company. Run for the hills.
Companies are rarely loyal to their employees for many many decades now, even ones they value.
I have seen EEs spend majority of their lives being loyal to their company and the company literally fire them within weeks of their retirement .. just to not have to adhere to pension obligation.
I really wish Corps and the people that run them make win wins for the companies but mostly for the consumers & EEs.
All they would need to do is put people first, profits second or even 3rd on the list of mission & Values.
