Taking the piss

I've been working very hard the last couple of years and I consistently do more than my role requires. My supervisors have noted this and told me they know I do the same as the next job grade above mine.

I've asked them to review what I do against the next job grade, with a view to a promotion/ pay rise.

I am 99% sure I will get nothing. They know I'm not in a position to look for another job locally so they will continue to let me do more while they save money on a higher waged person.

If you were me, what would you do?

If they don't give you the pay rise, don't do the extra work

I would say "I am going to stop doing the work I am not contracted to. You can either hire someone to do the job, or promote me to keep doing it, but I'm not doing someone else's job for free."

People think men just have money thrown at them, but men are just more likely to go in and demand it.

Do not, under any circumstances say you will leave, just say you will drop back to doing your original job. Saying you will leave is a red flag to a bull for a lot of companies, you have to let them know you would love the promotion, you love working for them, you're just not doing it for free and they can get someone else in.

I had the same thing with McLaren, stepped down from a supervisory role, pay cut, still did exactly the same, I feel for you. Take it to HR department if you have one, good luck x

Stop doing the extra work. There's going above and beyond, and there's being used to fill a higher paid role for the lower wage.

Ask them to do a gap analysis on your current performance and that of the next payband and agree an action plan to give you the experience you need to get you there.

Good luck with the review

I've already been to HR. They said to speak to my boss. Thank you. x

My boss has no clue what I do. It's other managers/ my boss's boss that know what I do.

I think I'm going to just do that they pay me for.

I did this too, thanks. Problem is my boss has no idea what my job is. I gave him examples of what I've done/ achieved

and he ignored what I said and asked if I wanted to do more hours!

Wow writing this down made me realise just how crap my situation is. I really don't know how to take this.

Work to rule.

Anything they ask you to do outside your job description just reply with my default sentence.

"Sorry, can't do, that's above my pay grade"

I've never had any experience of working in a corporate environment, but this sounds like the best plan of action.

Good luck OP, and don't let the bastards grind you down

You mention that your supervisors have noted the situation and say they know you do the work of the job grade above, ask them perhaps this question...? If they say they cannot pay you more, ask them if you should recalibrate your output to that just of your pay grade. They should say yes. Then do it.

This is what I do too, sometimes you end up taking on too much, now I just go "sorry it's nothing to do with me" it's amazing how much of a relief it is to say those words
