<prompt> Human: I became a floor manager this year for the restaurant Ive been with for the past 3 years. I accepted a salary lower than I wanted with the hopes of busting my ass and proving my worth to the company, and then asking for a raise in the future. This past year I have held up my end of the bargain and have been working very hard, perhaps too hard. I feel like they are taking advantage of me by adding more and more onto my plate while I accept all of these new responsibilities. A few months ago our assistant GM quit and the position has not been filled. My manager has hinted multiple times that I will eventually fill that position. However, as they continue to add more on to my plate I realize that I am now performing all of the assistant GM duties in addition to my own. I am essentially the assistant general manager without the title or pay. I have been asking my boss who is rarely actually at our location for a chance to speak to him about a raise and he has blown me off repeatedly. Just last week I noticed a small bump in my pay and texted my boss to ask what it was. He replied that he gave me a raise, but it is much smaller than I planned on asking for and much smaller than I deserve. FWIW, I now get paid the same amount as the other male floor managers theyve shared with me what they make that do not have the assistant GM responsibilities that I do.I feel like he gave me hush money in hopes I stop bothering him since he never told me about it, nor explained his reasoning for the amount he added. He cowardly avoided a negotiation talk altogether and hoped the tiny raise would keep me quiet. I want my voice heard with an opportunity to have a negotiation where I explain why I feel Im worth what Im asking. Im looking for input on the situation and wondering if anyone has been through something like this before and how I should approach my boss. This is my first salary position and would be my first raise negotiation, and I dont know how to bring it up, if at all. edit: Im not ready to walk away from this company just yet because there is a ton of opportunity here. It is rapidly growing with plans to open many restaurants across the United States next year, meaning many higher-up corporate positions becoming available and they love to hire within. Id hate to leave now and wonder what if?  <response>: Honestly, its time for you to add your responsibilities to your resume and start looking for employment elsewhere as I feel like the boss wont give you the title as hes getting everything done for less money.
