I haven’t been working at my company for a very long time, but it’s pretty basic work and they treat me very well with benefits.
It’s a two person office and the manager is quitting and I applied for his position because I have management experience from the past and I know our customers very well. I came with four glowing recommendations from 4 managers from other offices I worked closely with.
Our supervisor explained I have to work here for 4 more months before I could move up, but they’re having trouble filling the position. He expects I’ll be running the office by myself for two to three months. I have no trouble with running the office alone because there are days I do already and I’m comfortable with the workload.
My issue is that I’ll be staying at the same pay rate for picking up that extra manager work. We’re also in a slow month right now so all that data they look at will fall onto me.
I understand their request I work here a few more months before I get the position and I want to help them out as they helped me because they’re a very good local company. I don’t feel any resentment towards their position on it.
There is another position between my position and management that I could move to now that would include a large portion the pay raise but not the title. I want to know how long I should give them to fill the manager position before I push for that transitional position.
Again, they’re a great company and I don’t hold any ill will towards them. With everything going on right now and my family to think about, a bump in pay would be exactly what I need right now.
