[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She was taken aback because you’ve been there less than a year. I don’t mind when my employees proactively bring up their compensation at all, but if it’s been 8 months and the additional work was not presented as a step up in any way, it’s possible your manager perceives it as just part of the job you took even if you don’t. Which doesn’t say great things about the workplace culture but is what it is.

But if someone at the one year mark said to me “I realize I’ve been here for a year and I really like it here, however I was hired to do X and now I’m also doing Y and Z. I don’t mind these additional responsibilities but I’m hoping my comp can be adjusted to reflect them,” it would be well-received. For me as a manager, under 1 year is too soon for an employee-initiated conversation about comp unless there are some pretty extreme circumstances.[/quote]

op - A. It will likely time out to a year (you have to flag early or you miss the window where the decision is made, is why the timing) and b. it was actually quite extreme. A bit like being hired at GM to oversee chevy sales and then being given Buick, Cadillac and GMC, and commensurate workload and responsibility. [/quote]
