[Stir Fry]

Good stuff, breh. I’m the same way at my job as far as work ethic and efficiency goes. I’m in the trades too.

Wow, don’t listen to these old ass fakkits OP

If you are a valuable to the business and are depended on and are giving more and more responsibilities then it is not out of the realm of reasonableness to ask for the pay that you are worth.

I got two raises in the last 4 months on a new job that I’ve only had for 6 months based on exactly some the things you said being a valuable asset to the company..

these old nikkas just work with their head down and do what massa says fukk alllat

Church. Tabernacle. Mosque. Temple. Synagogue.

A bunch of "You go' git us in trouble" Negroes.

These cats are too worried about losing their "benefits".

I got a raise after my first month on a job by opening my mouth and asking.

Boss told me verbatim, "I'll give it to you *looks around* but just don't tell anyone else."

Hell, it wouldn't have made a difference if I did tell other people. Most people are too scared to ask. Close mouths don't get fed.

You must've also skipped over the fact that he is doing more than what he was hired to do. Of he is taking on the responsibility of multiple roles in excess of the one he was hired to do then IDGAF if it was 2weeks. He deserves appropriate compensation. That's how people get taken advantage of and end up working at a place only to quit or be fired and have two people replace the single job you just filled. That's business too my guy. It comes down to knowing your value and having leverage to do so. Not some arbitrary amount of time.

I've worked a job and acquired the responsibilities of a district technical advisor with the pay of just a regular tech. Knowing that the raise wasn't going to come despite everything, I leveraged that into coming to work for only 3hrs a day and got my same salary. Because if I flat out quit, they were fukked because no one was trained to replace my role and the additional role I assumed meant the company had an in-house district technical advisor instead of having to put in a request for one that took weeks.

If all they had him doing was what he was hired for then asking for a raise so soon seems misplaced. But since he said they got him doing more shyt that makes him much more valuable than is original role, he needs to be compensated. That's how shyt works. And if it's any other way, you playing yourself. Most people are playing themselves with work.

OP, get that bag or shirk the additional responsibilities sans an addition to your compensation package.

All these. Don't listen to these old cats who can't fathom to be paid what they deserve.

Yeah these old nikkas so old and miserable. They were always disposable that’s why they’re so negative. Old back in the day nikkas.

Sounds like they know your value

Cnc Machinist AND Programmer
Can operate any CNC

Honestly man, after running a waterjet at 60K in the background and running a plasma table that was not submerged.. I would have went deaf in a few years
Sometimes you have to switch it up. I was starting to be unhappy with my day to day





Young dudes? I'm 27
My boss told me I'm an asset, and we have had several discussions why I am useful. When the workers stop listening to him, and everything is going to shyt. He calls me in and I get everything back again . He mentioned a pay increase when we switch from demo to construction
And next week we will be starting construction. We just did a 10 story building

I've NEVER asked for a raise at any place I've worked. I got raises when it was time for review. I'm confident in what I have been doing there, and I'm the only one qualified to work with sheet metal there, as well as HVAC.
There is another team at this place that got tons of raises in the summer, but they lost on starting the construction. The owner sees what we are doing and how efficient we are versus them.


No probation period!
I'm a contractor
But this will be a 5+ year job.

There's lots of cnc machines that are quiet breh. I don't see why ear protection isn't sufficient for you
