This is on of the first times I post so my bad if it comes off weird but whatever
I work at a warehouse and my official title is “Warehouse Associate” When I was first hired I mainly did physical labor for 16.25 but after a couple months I was “promoted” to some computer work like receiving customer/stock order with a good coworker of mine and was still doing mainly physical work. Anyway after about a year my coworker gets promoted to full time office work and moves to a different department and I take most of his job but he takes some responsibilities with him along with training someone to do my old job for 16.75. Keep in mind now I’m doing about 70% office 30% labor right. Another year later and my old coworker was laid off and all the computer stuff he took with him is now my job. When he was doing this job he was hired at 18.25 but since I’ve taken over his stuff my pay hasn’t risen. He was hired over two years ago and was making more than what I am now doing the exact same job. Plus the person I trained to do my old job is getting paid 2$ more for doing what I was doing.(i know make it make sense) I want to bring it up to my manager but am worried because layoffs are still happening and I’m over 30 minutes late daily. How do I go about asking for a raise? Any advice? Please and thank you.
