Folks: Work Related Advise Needed Help!!
So, I'm a graduate from BBA and I'm working with a small to medium sized organization with around 200 people.
I'm a guy.
It's in Education Sector.
I joined right after my graduation. The first year, I did nothing so I was given a formality hike of 5k. They offered me 20k initially p.m. Now my 2nd year working here is completed so now, I have done more than 25 major roles which no one can do.
That makes up work of more than 20+ people.
Now that i asked for a raise, they are saying they are in losses and they don't have the budget and shit.
The only reason I'm working here is that I love the Manager aka Director.
He has been like a mentor, when I was facing hardship, he has given me money without even a second thought.
I have been discussing this with him.
Now he was saying the organization might increase my salary to 30k. I'm like the fuck are you even speaking.
I really don't wanna leave the organization because of this person at the same time I don't wanna stay in an organization which doesn't give an absolute crap about me.
Please tell me what shall I do.
These are the points I raised:
- I need to get paid for the value I give. I have done more than 20+ peoples works. Even if you hire some incompetent people, the time, value and efforts would cost more than to pay me.
His counter: Treat this organization as a cost-cutting and work with me on other businesses and which he offered me to compensate with if I work there
My thought: if I work here, and get compensates there. What about the work do there? How will I be compensated?
- We are ready to pay more to people who do jackshit work but we have policies to people who actually do work? They have gone over the budget for people who talked big and did absolute shit.
His counter: We are in losses and we might not have the budget
My thought: So we are doing cost cutting by hiring shitty people for more money and compensating it by paying the valuable people jackshit?
Please help me
Thanks!
Get away from such manipulative managers or leaders for the sake of your mental health.
They see your work but don’t compensate for it and at the same time expect you to stay back and keep doing work of 20 plus people.
And about them not having the budget thing, put down the papers and see how suddenly some budget gets added conveniently to make you stay.
If you have some money to sustain for a month or two and don’t have a family responsibility of any sorts right now, put down your papers. Find a better place. They do exist, trust me.
People like them don’t deserve employees like you.
And if they really are facing budget issues then well that’s not your headache to sit there and take whatever little money they can spare on you. You are doing a job not some charity for them.
Make some good to hear excuse to that guy so that you don’t burn bridges but leave.
Thank you soo much for the reply.
I do have some family commitments due to financial situations at my home.
And this director I was talking about, I have to repay him back like 45k he hasn't asked me anything till date.
I will quiet quit for a month or 2 and then leave.
Thank you so much.
If you think I can do anything else.
Please let me know
I don’t know your skill set exactly but from what I can gather you have worn many hats in this organisation so make sure to mention that in CV for the next job. And make sure to ask your responsibilities beforehand in the next organisation. Set the expectations right from the beginning at your new job.
And also I’m not sure of education sector career opportunities much.
But if possible and if time allows, learn high paying skills on the side so that you can consider career change into something high paying field.
