Answer 1

You've got all the info you need. Just put it all together, make it look nice on paper & take it straight to the boss. You might want to show what you did when you first started working there & then show all you do now. It probably wouldn't hurt to go to salary.com & get an idea of the average pay for your job also. If its more than you're getting now, print it & add it to your own portfolio. Good luck, it worked for me. I weven got a promotion out of it. DON't throw it away either, keep it for a future job resume if needed. After awhile you tend to forget all you do because its routine. Good luck.

Answer 2

Did you boss ever communicate the possibility of a pay raise over the past 12 months?
Were you hired with a promise of a pay raise, or incremental raises over specific time periods?
Good communication is the key here. Good teamwork is vital, so the assist you give others is vital. But it shouldn't be done with strings attached.
1 year on the job is a good start, but may not meet the company expectations for pay increases. Sit down with your boss and iron this out. ( In the industry you are in , bonuses are common for supervisers. If your pay raise comes out of your bosses' bonus, don't expect much.) Communicate clearly your own expectations to your boss.
And definitely don't take yourself out of the field for a better position.

Answer 3

I am in this job for 27 years at a stretch, which incidentally are completed today only and there is no annual increment after 16 yrs, it is triennial i.e. is every three yrs the pay is raised. But then i am satisfied with the job, i don't want to loose it,prices may go up!

Answer 4

Good golly. Take a deep breath and get a grip. Whine, whine, whine, oh poor pitiful me. "I do all the work and nobody rewards me for it. I'm busting my butt even when I'm asking questions on Yahoo from my work computer. I tell everybody what they do wrong and nobody does any thing". Whaa flipping whaaa.

If you communicate with your boss and co-workers like you did in your long winded groan above it is no wonder they haven't promoted you to king of the world yet. I'd bet when you announce you have a job interview there will be dozens of offers to drive you there.

I've had dozens of employees like you. Even if you are the highest producer in the office I'd rather have 5 cooperative, non-whinny, workers over one of you. Maybe you haven't gotten a raise because someone wants you to look elsewhere. Pity that poor future sucker of an employer.

Get over yourself. Your a member of the team.

Answer 5

Advise your boss that although you do understand the need for $$$ to run the business but you were hoping that given your good track records you do expect a salary adjustment. With expenses going up, it would be difficult for you to make ends meet.

Answer 6

I would start working on my job search, but keep this job until I find something. Tell them you have an appointment and attend Interviews.

Good Luck!

Answer 7

not help the co workers and demand a raise every week until I found another job

Answer 8

Well, since she is not motivating you or the rest of her staff to the correct process... I would start looking elsewhere...
