i currently make $20 an hour (in new york city, so it’s basically minimum wage) as a receptionist/assistant type person. i currently do everything on my job description every day without fail. i do have a reasonable amount of downtime throughout the day as i am very client based & clients need for me varies wildly day to day, even hour to hour. i’m not the only one with a lot of downtime, i have a coworker who makes significantly more than me who watches netflix pretty frequently in her office. so i’m essentially an “as needed” employee, a dog who sits and waits patiently to be called but i’m always there. i assume they’ve hired me in part because of this. all that said, one of my higher ups seems to think i’m not doing enough so she wants me to take on some extra responsibilities, including managing the company’s social media profile/image. i have no problem taking on more because as i said i have a lot of downtime but i guess my question is, should i be asking for an increase in pay? or is it expected for me to take on more on the basis of my ability to do so? again i do want to reiterate, i do everything on my initial job description, this would be something new i was not initially hired for. thanks !!
