I have been hired (sept 2021) with a company that expressed this work order tech position is an experiment, they have given me pretty free reign(which has its own set of problems navigating with zero S.O.P's put in place.)
I have been contacting ,scheduling, following up, and doing it with a route to maintain with constant Interuptions.
At 90 days I got a small raise ($2 p/h) with constant confirmation I am doing everything right.
Here I am getting excited about all these feathers I can add up to a pay raise and they hire a low wage job do do this for me( and now 2 other guys)
How do I go about this conversation?
I used to drive 1 hour(my commute) to sit in a parking lot to do these things
Thank God for tech because I have been able to automate my phone and do this hands free on my commute.
Giving me an extra hour with my family.
Me doing this and having a good skill set, made it so they are so busy I never got any attention
“OH my I can't believe your doing this all by yourself!, so self sufficient”
Freeing up their time to do what they NEED.
Is it weird that other respectable employers I've had, use this opportunity to give me a small pay raise as a Pat on the butt, good game, now do this?
But this emoyer is glossing over it like business as usual.
I wouldn't fight the commute so much if I got compensated for the value I brought ( past tense because they are relieving me of those responsibilities, and could be argued those traits are valuable daily)
We know that micromanagement is sure to follow further mudding the verbal understanding we had at 90 days
Basically this is going to affect me more than they think
They do a specialized personality test so they know that the way they are progressing is counterproductive to the way I learn and adapt.
I could ramble on forever
Have any Insights or questions?
Where is my working class mind getting mixed up with the business of property management.
I want to say I am all for efficiency, progress, adaptation, but the cynical side of me that has had my fair share of slumployers, SCREAMS CONSTRUCTIVE DISMISSAL
