The title is basically all you need to know, but here's a post I made a few days ago as well: https://np.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/sq8w6a/my_plant_manager_asked_me_in_general_conversation/
Basically, the plant manager (top dog in our facility) asked me how much it would take to take me away from them.
I just really need help understanding how to approach the situation, maybe how to phrase my questions and concerns, etc. Everyone in the other thread said I need to go for it, ask for more money.
I don't have a degree. That is my primary concern with asking for more money. But I do have some skills, as well as the ability to learn to do whatever needs to be done. Plus, a year and a half in, and apparently they're at least fairly content with what I've done so far. So I'm guessing they're cool with keeping me in this role?
I'm just a bit lost, and I have sort of lost sight of the bigger picture in my situation (becoming hyperfocused on whatever task is put forth each day / week / month).
My performance has definitely suffered, but it's not because I'm unfit for the job or whatever… It's because I feel like I'm being taken advantage of, and I'm super over it. I'm tired of it.
I currently get 3 weeks of paid vacation, 1 week of sick paid time off, and 1 paid personal day. I made $39K last year (paid hourly).
What I want is 5 weeks of paid vacation, 2 weeks of paid sick time off, and 1 paid personal day. I want to be paid $62K annually (salaried).
How to approach?
P.S. – Yes, I am prepared to submit my resignation notice just as soon as I find a new job (which isn't hard to do in my area).
