I’ve been doing discounted work for the better part of a year. I run an IT department for a 100+ Person company and get paid like a support tech. I started as one granted, but quickly saw some colleagues leave and responsibility’s fall into my lap. Nobody was replaced. Just downsized the department and threw that role onto my lap with no title change or pay increase. I had enough and finally spoke with my supervisor to increase my pay to sync up with the work I’m doing. Interviews and offers are lined up and ready for when I inevitably get denied my asking salary. Jokes on them. They decline my request they will need to figure out how to fill my shoes. Good luck getting someone in the building to deal with all the bullshit and actually retain them. Fingers crossed, but folks remember, you owe nothing to your place of employment. If they don’t take care of you, take care of yourself. Grass is always greener if you search for it.
