how much should i get paid?

[superstu 0]

so my 1st annual review is coming up and i want to ask for a raise. currently i'm making about 24k/year which isn't all that great for the amount of work i do.

right now i basically recruit and staff for 4 car dealerships that have between 60 and 90 people per dealership, plus staff for a body shop that has about 15 people. along with that though comes all the "baby sitting" and bull shit from these 315 employee's so i've got a lot of shit to do throughout the day.

so my question is, how much of a raise should i ask for considering i'm an hourly employee and do my job very well?

by the way if anybody is hiring out there i would be willing to leave my current position as long as there is a dz close by to work, and if it has a swoop pond that's even a bigger bonus.

I think I might possibly draw 24k a year in unemployment, in between my contract jobs.

Either you are:

1.) Really OVERstating what you do, or;

2.) Really UNDERpaid.

Ask for MUCH more.

I agree. You can make that much skydiving at a "real" dropzone.

I would point all that out to the person doing the review. Maybe, you could find the high/low as well as average for your type position and figure-out what the company would be willing to go, for a pay increase. Shoot him/her a high-ball. You can always drop down a bit. Feel it out. Just don't go way over-board. Be reasonable. You work your ass-off and there's nothing wrong with a 'just' compensation. Good luck to you.

I'm sure most, damn near all the employees your babysitting make more than that. If you can come up with a tactfull way to point this out it might help.

I don't know enough about your industry to give you specific advice. General advice: look at various job websites. Most of them will have salary surveys that allow you to get a feel for the amount of money you should be making.

I'm assuming you're member of a team that does this recruiting/staffing/babysitting, right?

yeah, there are 2 of us for these 4.5 dealerships.

and it's not like i've hired on all these employees my self obviously but as you might guess in the car business the turnover rate is insane. in the month of august i hired on 26 people and they're still short staffed.

First...when you go in for the review.

LOCK the door behind you....


Then proceed tp beat the shit out of yourself ala "Fight Club"...

Then...don't 'ask' for more $$$!!!

TELL them how much you will be making this quarter....!
