I’ve been working as an administrative assistant to a director in a nonprofit, for almost 20 years. I have received significant raises, which I deserve because I have poured my heart and soul into this agency I have never been promoted. I’ve been wanting to leave, because I know that other employees after me have been promoted, receive $10,000 bonuses, while I and other senior employees only received $1000.00. Can someone please give me advice on what to do?

A wise ex-coworker (she has since moved on to greener pastures) once told me...the only way to stay competitively compensated is to stay on the move every 4 or so years...Generally when you tap out on your salary scale. Remember, companies need to attract new talent and its sad that i've seen fresh faced graduates be given step B "because they asked for it" while the older heads are getting measly 5% annual increases that taps out after 5 years.

Have you expressed to your manager or boss that you want to move up and be promoted? That would be where I would start first. Also do you get bonuses? If not I think that you should.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

Hello Fishes,
