My director is looking to add a few new members to our team (currently only 2 of us) to help lighten the work load. How do I convince him to just give me a raise and keep the load I have now?

Generally from a team structure perspective your director probably won’t want that. I focus mainly on the sales team in my FP&A role and essentially having too much reliance on individual employees, especially if selling to more enterprise customers is generally a red flag.

Better to have more heads to avoid having a stop in account manager productivity if someone leaves. Leaves you less vulnerable to delays in hiring + ramp times

Thank you so much for the detailed response!

Definitely ask for a raise, you deserve it! I just went through this for 4 months as I took on a supervisory role. It was just me handling my workload, a coordinator responsibility and Supervisor level tasks... too much for one person and no relief or compensation.

Asked for a raise and didn't get it, so I found a new job. I start in 2 weeks.

Same. You can do it. Over the past 2 yrs I've become bolder in asking for what I want and even if the final answer is NO, at least I vocalised it to my Director so there are no surprises when I bow out.

Is the other person on your team fine with the load? Is the workload anticipated to increase?

They are also fine. Yes we are experiencing growth and it will increase leading to a need in the future.

Ask for the raise, but think long and hard if you want to make this an "instead." Startups can't afford employees who inhibit growth. Your workload will creep back up even after the new hires, but discouraging new hires is actively detrimental to a company still looking for break-even.
