So I've been working towards a promotion for the past 8 months and I finally got it! Super grateful but I noticed the increase in salary with it is only roughly 5% where they were saying it was supposed to be 8-12%.
Honestly I wouldnt care but I live in south florida so I have to get every dollar I can so I feel I need to try to negotiate. I'm asking for the full 12% since we are understaffed and our demand is going up, not too hopeful though since it was told to me verbally and the only documentation was from 2017 stating this explicitly. I figure it's worth trying but I'm still nervous as hell since I never thought I'd get far enough to negotiate my salary ever.
