I was told this while asking for a raise. I was explaining my frustrations with a recent promotion to a position I wasn’t properly trained for or supported in. The requirements and title do not align. So, I wanted to get paid for taking on more responsibility in stride. This conversation occurred mid-May, I was told to be patient and we’d revisit the topic. What is the proper response to this?
Side note: I understand what they were trying to say. But the more I thought about, the more ridiculous and infuriating it revealed itself in my head. They almost alluded to me not being grateful enough for the position – like they could find someone else who actually enjoys the mundane work AND likes getting paid nothing for it /s I saw red when they initially said it. The absolute privilege of it all. Utter bullshit. I work hard. Pay me. Simple. How I deal with the enjoyment of it is none of your fucking business.
Anyways, any tips on negotiating raises with manipulative people would be wonderful. Thanks!
