<prompt> Human: Sorry in advance, Im on mobile. Im going to try and make this simple and short. I have been working for the same company for a little over four years, we had twelve stores. Two years ago it was bought and merged with another company that owned twenty-four stores. I was the warehouse manager for a particular departmentlarge warehouse with multiple types of products. After the merger, the manager of the other departments quit and I took on his responsibilities. Unfortunately for me, even after taking on an additional twenty-four stores and absorbing another managers section I received no additional compensation. Taking on these additional duties requires me to work a minimum of ten hours a day, only taking Sunday off. I average sixty-five hours a week just to keep the flow going. I spoke to my boss about a raise since Im taking care of so many more things now, but he has the idea that because I get so many hours of overtime that its hard to give me a raise. While its easy to just say thats not how it should work, I need a better way to convey that to my boss. Before the previous owner sold, we were also offered an alright retirement plan that matched us for an alright amount. The new owners got rid of this, so in a way after taking on more work and responsibility, Im technically bringing home less.Whats the right way to get my point across?  <response>: Thats a bullshit excuse. You shouldve told him youre happy to work less if he gave you a raise then. :-You already gave your boss an opportunity to make it right. At this point, its time to find a new job. If you like your current job, you can use the new offer as leverage to see if he will give you a raise. Or just leave.Reading between the lines, I think too many OT hours you make too much money you make more than me or you will make more than me if I give you a raise and thats not okay by me. Its a nonsensical reason and Im about 99 sure its his ego.
