Or you could threaten to leave and then they will have to pay you more.

I agree, #24. A lot of times bosses will try to keep you stagnant because they don't want to train someone else. But I'm sure they'd rather lose you to another position within the company (where they could still utilize your help when needed) than lose you altogether.

Probably OP could just bribe somebody for her Oh-So-Amazing job...

Sarcastic much? ^^ Its good to be indispensable, OP. I wouldn't threaten to quit unless I was positive that they wouldn't say, "Great! See ya later!" Sometimes that's what it takes though. If you're that good, they'll fight to keep you.

Maybe try to get them to raise your salary a considerable amount.

its not as easy as it sounds...

I agree with the sentiment but unfortunately I have found some managers do not want to lose an asset in one department or position without someone as good or better in the wings. It is quite unfortunate but the work world is often unfair. :(

You failed. Miserably

Times 4

Wow I suck apparently :(

#4, this isn't ifunny, your comment has to actually be good to get upvotes

Whoops wrong fml. Sorry.

#13 reported.

Or you could get reported for false reporting.

Agreed. This happens more often than we can imagine. Either current employee is too good and can't get a replacement Or current employee is underpaid for the job they're doing and don't know about it (Replacement would cost more) Or people just don't want the job and it's hard to get replacement. In either case you have to convince your employer that you'll do the next job even better and you can train the new employee to do as good of a job as you. Remember. Businesses are evil. Most if not all of the time they only think of their benefit (no brainer). You can also find yourself a replacement and recommend it to HR. They will consider your recommendation.
