Looking for advice.
tldr; agreed to mentor another female coworker and now my boss is trying to get me to extend this education to other departments, while doing so would be far beyond my original job description/pay.
I work in customer support. I’m very over qualified for my job, but because of current life situations I applied for this position because I cannot currently handle a more demanding job.
However,the last 90 days I am accruing more and more responsibilities beyond my position title and turning into sales operations manager. Discussion of my change of title has been floated in meeting conversations within the last 2 weeks, but no one-on-one with the boss about it yet.
Recently a female coworker working in customer service inbox asked me if I would teach her some things about sales and help her climb within the company, as she doesn’t have a lot of experience or education. Normally I would have said no, but I felt it was an opportunity to mentor and empower someone who receives so many less chances to grow and learn through mentorship (as a woman of color, this was my own experience)
I followed up today asking her to arrange a time for us to meet next week and she her response was that she had actually mentioned this to our boss, and they told her to hold off on scheduling the one-on-one with me because our boss now wants me to teach these bits of knowledge to several other departments as well, collectively all at once.
If/when my boss approaches me with this “idea”, how do I tell them I’m not willing to do it unless I receive appropriate title/pay change? Additionally, how do I make it clear they are not entitled to exploit my willingness to mentor another woman of color in order to further their successful small business?
