I've been in my current role for 6 months, working under a full-time CD and freelance CD. I'd been over-performing and leading creative on a large campaign for our most important client, when suddenly the full-time CD was fired and the freelancer's contract is up next week. Neither of their roles are being replaced, leaving me at the helm. Am I crazy for thinking this calls for a promotion and raise this soon?

Letting people go without replacement and plopping the responsibility in your lap is a sign of poor management and perhaps even an issue with the account. I would highly suggest speaking with leadership about their plan and your role in it, beyond you pulling mop up duty.

Other than the market contracting and the agency not replacing them? Please elaborate!

I’d like to talk about my title and salary given I’ll be taking on the responsibilities of two additional roles… and if they balk, put in your notice on the spot. They’ve got the losing hand in that scenario.

Not crazy. But if they’re not willing to promote and pay you more for taking on two additional roles and they’re not backfilling those roles, then you might want to start looking for a new job.

A bit hopeful sorry

It may be early on, but if they trust you enough to get the jobs of 2 others done, it doesn’t matter that you’ve only been there for 6 months IMO. Not crazy, not hopeful, just reasonable. If they want the work done, and done right, they’ll pay for it 🤷🏻‍♀️ and if not… you’re not the problem. They are.

Hi ! Looking for advice. I’ve been with a company in BC for 2.5 years, started support role, promoted to smb AE a year ago. salary is 65k with uncapped commission. We recently did layoffs, I was kept however there have been changes & meeting quota has become difficult & we have a way heavier workload. The perks are amazing but I need to make more money. Do you think I could get a role with more money with my experience that’s fully remote even in this “recession”..thoughts?

Hi all.
Pretty disappointed now as my request for a counter offer revision in IBM has been rejected by the business team. I have an offer of 14.41 in a Big4(Fixed: 11,variable 3:41) & IBM is offering me Fixed 12.5(including retirals-13.31).

Sad part is they are considering only fixed part for revision & r saying that we r offering you more than ur fixed. They r saying u will get variable on top of this. In reality, IBM hardly gives any variable.
Guys, is there still a way to revise the offer?
