I have which I dislike a LOT but I have a job so I'm happy. I was hired last August and was hired under the pretenses of getting a raise after 3 months, when it came time for the reveiw which I had to ask for, my boss let me know he was wrong. It was 6 months. Then a week before my 6 month review, HR sent out an email saying they were freezing raises and salaries til June and will reconsider in June. However, June is here, no raises til 2010, they are using this to their advanatge because I have more "deals" than ever coming into me to process, which means more money for the company. I know other people I work with are doing well and I work very hard, I hold the entire dept together, my boss says when I'm not there the dept falls apart.
I only get paid 12 an hour making about $24,960 a year when other admins in the area's lowest salary is at LEAST 32,000. I also want to add that i live in NJ and it is very expensive to live here, so with that in mind, I want to ask for a raise. I took this job hopign to only work there for a few months then the economy bombed out leaving me stuck here at this job I HATE. The ppl are so unprofessional, swearing punching walls etc. YEA ITS THAT BAD!
I am a college grad and the position has no job description bc it was created new when I came basically so they can keep giving me responsibilities and I can't really object to them because I have no job description. They have been piling on work for me giving me things that I have no cares for yet I do a great job, I want to work in event planning at a non profit but work at a financial company that works in selling cc payment processors/atms etc.
I want to ask for a 5-6 raise so that I am in the pay arena of my fellow peers in the industry. I think it will get shot down but I will settle with 3-4. I mean what if I had to live in the vacinity, rent is at least 900-1000 for a sh*tty place.
I still don't have a car cuz I graduated last year from college but I am almost ready to buy a decent used car, but as some may know insurance is redic in NJ so I'm not sure if I can afford to have a car while save some money, which is why I want to ask for a raise. I get positive feedback all the time and my boss is constantly impressed with me, of course there have been a few hiccups but I have taken action to resolve issues and not had anything happen since at work.
I have 97K in student loans and I just want to move on with my life. I don't go out, hardly go to the store to buy anything unless its tolietries i need, and spend hardly any money on food. I have been saving adamately for almost a year for a car. I've been looking for other jobs but being like 7-8 g's underpaid is p*ssing me off and I am not having much success with other jobs considering the ecnomic status.
PS i understand people are losing their houses, I've heard it from family members and even some of my family are facing that situation. So I am thankful I am just not satisfied because I know I deserve more. So please give me advice on how to approach my boss and if I'm being rediculous asking for a $5-6 raise. In all honestly a 3-4 raise would put me up with the minimum lowest average wage / salary of people in the area with the same postion as me, so I honestly think I deserve 5-6 because I DO so much within the dept. I am the Director's assistant, the admin assistant for the office and I also process all the new orders and SOOOO many other things I can't list because this post has gone on way too long already. thank u for ur help and patience reading this whole thing ur input is appreciated.
Also maybe take into consideration that i also have 16 months of exp all together plus extensive customer service exp. lastly, i am not intellectually stimlulated whatsoever at this job, another reason why i want to get a new one.
