The company I’m currently at lost a member of our team and has no plans to re-hire. We offer sales & support and bolster the companies revenue directly with our sales. We are salaried with fluctuating annual bonus averaging 5-9% of our salary. We have asked for retention raises and continue to be promised they are working on something, but crickets from upper management. Looking for thoughts and advice from anyone who may have been in this position before.

Hmmmm that definitely seems like there should be more contribution from the company to backfill the person or adjust comp. Could you bring it up in your next review but frame it as looking to progress / be promoted due to how much you are contributing above what you did last year?

I really like that input, that will be my next effort for sure. I was promoted with a small raise in Q1 but the departure of our team member happened in Q2 in the middle of our busy season. We asked for more compensation considering the circumstance and have been promised multiple times now they’re working on something. We have been provided a deadline for the package offering they’re “working on” which that deadline came and went with no further discussions. It’s as though we are being brushed under the rug and still expected to produce.

That's called "Cutting hours by attrition". When people leave, say by maternity leave, or just resigning, it's an opportunity to save wage costs by not doing anything. The work done by that previous employee will just be slowly absorbed by the remaining staff

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.
