[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I wish I was a troll here. The “best” or “worst” in all of it is that the person who delivered the news is not my boss. It is a Practice Leader - I spoke with this person maybe like twice last year. It was beyond clear that this person had no idea what I do in my daily work. [/quote]

Do not feel bad for not knowing how to do this.  Salary negotiation and renegotiation are things that are not directly taught, especially to females. It's perfectly fine to ask here, or even whine and vent here. It's DCUM, not a job board or social media that can be traced back to you personally.

Schedule one on one time with your boss.  Get all of your facts in place, listed out so you don't get nervous and forget or overlook something. Bring figures to the table about what work you have absorbed, turn around time, service details, etc.  You have to show how you are performing as a manager vs an associate (just an example), or how you've absorbed multiple jobs, and are performing them in an exemplary manner.  It's difficult to give specifics without knowing your role/industry, but [u]presenting metrics in a level headed, direct, non-emotional matter is the best approach[/u].  The worst that can happen is they turn you down, and even then, at least you've planted the seed.  If the conversation goes well tell him/her your goals for the next year, and how those goals directly contribute to the department goals and bottom line.  Alternatively this may lead to you being considered for other positions or promotions.  There are many avenues to explore.
