I've been with my company for 8 years with minimal raises, and now they want me to do 3-4 hours/week of tech interviews on top of my regular workload. This may push me into OT, but I'm salaried. Of course, HR ghosted me when I asked about compensation. Is this normal?

Thanks for sharing

Normal and acceptable are two different things. Right now, it's completely normal for companies to drive their employees to burnout because they know they can easily be replaced. It's definitely not acceptable, though. It's a terrible way to treat someone.

Is it normal? Kind of. Companies are always trying to get as much out of their employees as they can for as little money as possible. But that doesn't necessarily mean you have to accept it. You could always turn down the extra work until your compensation is reevaluated.

Have they offered you any additional compensation on top of this work? I think you need to be clear that you are going to need compensation if they're adding extra responsibilities to your workload. They may not expect you to push back, but I think if you handle it right they will likely offer you some extra comp for this

This is extremely normal and why the new employee model is 36-48 months and onwards to a new company.... you're currently sitting on 200% of the max time you stay under the thumb of a single employer... Time to move onwards and upwards.

Rule one never stay at a company with a salary cap. You should always move your ladder every 3 years. Once you around 40 that’s when you stay past 3years and build an exit plan for retirement. Companies do not deserve to have you really past 2 years as any Texh
