Hi all, I posted about my situation before and wanted your perspective on next steps.
Basically, my entire department quit (3 ppl) so I'm the only person left + my manager who came back after 3 months of leave who knows nothing so i have to get her up to speed (im shocked she wasnt even given a handoff). My coworkers quit because they were overworked, pay disparity, significant process issues and because the department has poor leadership.
I met with HR who asked me how they can improve things and I told them all the issues + my rec on how to restructure things. I also set boundaries letting them know I will only work 40 hours and asked for a substantial raise. She said she would get back to me since performance reviews are also going on.
It has been 1.5 weeks and complete silence from HR about my raise so at the 1 week mark I had followed up asking for an update. I've been job hunting in the meantime but wondering how to approach this situation. I have a feeling they're going to try to ignore for as long as possible + I don't even know if HR told my manager about my pay raise request (she came a bit later) and lowkey I feel like I asked for more than her salary.
It's a weird and messy situation…and im growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of response and the execs keeping me in the dark. I hate it here but I need to keep working until I find another job… suggestions on next steps?
