I work for a small company and we all wear multiple hats. And I’m very new in a management position It’s getting to a point that I’m wearing more hats than agreed upon in the hiring process. How should one go about asking for possibly more compensation or something to help distribute some of this work load?

I would start with clearly and directly communicating with your boss what your regular work load looks like, what your goals and objectives are for that position, why things will not be sustainable as they are and how this will result in not meeting goals and expectations, and what your suggestions are to improve the situation (another hire, more or different resources, a more flexible schedule, etc.) Document that conversation. Be consistent and persistent with your message that you cannot achieve what they need from you with the resources you currently have and what your specific request is for a solution. That's your role here. Theirs is to fix the problem you are communicating to them.
