If coworker quits or gets let go, and then company makes you do all or some of that former persons workload, aren’t you entitled to a raise or pay bump?
Option A: say ok fine, do the extra work, for no extra money
Option B: tell them no unless you get a pay bump raise, they still say no raise
Option C: tell them no unless you get a pay bump raise, they say ok yes here’s x more $
Usually it’s option A or B
At one of my former J2s, every time someone quit (was usually the same few roles under the same few managers had a lot of churn), I was the one to pick up the slack for some of that roles tasks and responsibility for NO EXTRA MONEY. THEY JUST ADDED ON MORE WORK FOR ME. I ain’t this super manipulative, even after I ask them politely several times how is this fair? Shouldn’t I get a bit more pay for literally doing someone else’s job they used to pay them for?
