I work for a company that says there is no money for raises this year. There were none last year.
The kicker is they throw parties at our West Coast Location all the time and we just acquired another company which increased my user base.
I have 7 servers with about 40 users across 3 time zones that I support. I know that’s not a lot but I also have a Microsoft CRM application I am developing almost all on my own.
I just got back from vacation but I felt like I wasn’t on vacation because they called me all the time and refuse to get someone to cover when I am away.
I know I should be happy just to have a job but the company seems to be doing very well despite claims of being cash poor.
I am below the low end of a Network Administrator salary for what I do. (57k) I look at the salary surveys and the low I see is 60k to 62k with a mid range of 71k.
I never work less that 60 hours a week and I don’t get overtime or comp time. Should I demand a raise or just shutup and start looking?
