I’ve been an assistant store manager for three years and my responsibilities keep increasing, but my pay hasn’t really moved. How do people in my situation build a case for either a pay bump or a promotion to store manager without being told to “wait for next year” again? I need it as soon as possible with my family growing bigger.

In my experience, people in your spot usually document everything first. Sales results, shrink, labor control, training you’ve done, extra keys you hold and then ask for a sit‑down framed right.. like "Given the responsibilities I’m carrying, I’d like to talk about either a pay adjustment or a path to store manager within X months."

Put together a list of what you are doing and how you are succeeding in doing it. Then bring that up. Make a timeline for yourself, and if it doesn’t happen in that time, start looking for another place that will want to pay.

In my experience, being vocal about what have been doing for that company will make a difference. I will give you my personal example where I wanted to get promotion but I wasn't my manager's favourite so she wouldn't give it to me. So I once had a surprise meeting with her where she did not know if I was meeting her and I put everything together and told her why I was the most eligible candidate for promotion.

Hi folks,

If a person resigns on April month when yearly reviews are going to happen and bonus are being sent out.
So, can he get the performance bonus because he served the last whole year with dedication?

It would be helpful if managers can answer this because they are the people who approves or decline this request.

Been with Big Four advisory (GRC) for 10 years. Really tired of meaningless “consulting” and commoditized implementations. Recently been through a rough job search and finally landed an offer with a mid size bank in their risk practice. People say that the culture there is quite political and bitter but I’ll learn a heck lot and get a new opening on my resume. Salary is the same. The other option is to take a consulting job that pays me 50k more but do the same work! Thoughts? Thanks!

I work in healthcare administration but was a medic for years. You learn so much about innovation but seems like most health systems just want people to fall in line and just do what's always been done. I would take a pay cut to work for a system that's actually trying to do something disruptive in the Industry as opposed to just using buzz words in ppt.
