Not being treated fairly

by techno28_1 . Updated 23 years, 5 months ago

I work in a mid size company that has only 2 people in the IT Dept. I feel that I am not being treated or paid fairly for the work I do. Currently I don’t have a degree or any of the network certifications. However I did take a training course in the IT field that was almost 500 hours of training. I flew through this and was the 3rd highest G.P.A (98%+) in the class out of 25. Now that I have experience (2 + yrs.)and the training I don’t come close to make fair market value for my job in my geographical area. With my last review I did bring in data and job descriptions showing that I should be making more then what I was. However I was told that my job doesn’t include all the same exact duties of the job descriptions that I brought in. YetI do, do some of those duties since there isn’t anyone else in the dept to do them. I also do things that aren’t even in those job descriptions and they weren’t even being considered. My supervisor gave some garbage reasoning and wouldn’t even try to justify his thoughts. Since the IT market is so bad how do I get the fair market value I deserve? I thought about going over my supervisor’s head but I think that might backfire. Also I get numerous people in the company telling me how helpful I amand that they don’t like talking to my supervisor about the computer problems because he makes them feel stupid or that they’re bothering him. If I can do things that he doesn’t even have the ability to do and have a better work repoire with our actual customers (the end-users) then how do I get what I feel I deserve. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
