I work for a small company, and my whole team quit earlier this month, right before year-end. So I’m basically handling the entire close by myself this year. It’s a nightmare, but I’m thinking of asking for a raise now since they can’t afford to lose me too. Any ideas about how much of a mid-cycle bump I should ask for during a staffing crisis? I’m doing way more than my job description at this point and want to bring it up ASAP.

A full team departure is a significant signal. Teams rarely leave healthy, well managed environments all at once, which raises questions about leadership, workload, and organizational culture. When an entire team exits simultaneously, it typically points to deeper structural or management issues rather than individual circumstances.

Isn't the issue a staffing issue? Aren't they just going to hire replacements? If anything they might give you a bigger bonus. You could mention X employees would have got paid out X. I did x extra responsibilities I think this may warrant an additional x. Honestly you might get an extra 10% if anything on your bonus lol.

Yes they should hire replacements, but they will not have the institutional knowledge that OP has. 100% ask for a raise

How many people quite? And do you have any idea why they left? It could be a sign of something going on within the company they didn't like. I would have an eye on a new role if you asking for a out of cycle raise backfires and your workspace becomes toxic.

I'm an accounts receivable expert with 8+ yrs of experience. I started with 96k per annum in 2014, and have worked with 4 different MNCs since then.

When I look at the other member's comments here, it seems majority of folks are earning 20-30Lpa or even more.

Any suggestions from mature audience to achieve a big pay raise.
