I’m in talks with management about being a candidate for a new position, Project Manager. This would be a promotion for me; however, a member of my team indicated the company may not want to increase compensation for this role even though I would have more responsibilities. It was even stated that “They may even want to fire people who asked for more money.” I am staggered. Do you advice for me? Should I look elsewhere? Any referrals? Any insight/assistance appreciated.

I would not listen to gossip/speculation from a coworker about this - who knows what their motivation is. Agree with above, and also do your research and have salary range and market comparables ready to discuss.

Thank you for this insight! This had occurred to me - they may be trying to undermine.

If they do not pay you more for the title increase do not take the role. If you do that, plan on only doing it for the title change and resume revamp to find yourself a company who values you. Also I’m pretty sure asking for more money isn’t cause to fire someone so if they actually tell you that you probably would have a wrongful termination suit.

Great to know! Thank you. I will keep this in mind. I may need to make a switch asap.

I am not in NOLA. I am open to remote work.

Further context: The Project Manager role is essentially what I am already doing in my current position. This would be making it official with some more added responsibilities/objectives on top of what I am already executing. I have pitched creating this Project Manager role for this reason. The stage of discussing comp has not been reached yet.
