Boss man

By Anonymous - 13/04/2024 23:00

Today, my boss agreed to a 20% pay rise, in exchange for adding a list of new responsibilities to my job description that will effectively double my workload, which he expects to be carried out in the same 8 hour workday, and not on overtime either. My boss is my dad and I hate him. FML

20% raise with a 100% increase in required work, I’d say they only way I’d accept would be a 100% raise. No one should expect double the work in the same amount of time, family or not.

Until you look for another job you won’t know the true economics of the situation. I urge you to look outside the family business for an appropriate job. You might find you are either under or overpaid relative to a non-family job but you won’t know until then. Then you can either take that job or re-negotiate based on the competition. But keep your job search to yourself until actually offered the job - Especially since in a family there are many ears listening.

Tell him you want a commensurate raise, or you're giving your notice.

while having dinner with your dad AND mom... calmly explain that while you appreciate the raise, the extra workload is physically impossible to get done within a regular workday. then let mom handle him lol.
