<prompt> Human: EDIT: darn! should say now in the title, not notAs the title says, I have a year review coming up next Thursday. Ive incurred a lot of abuse from this company and am actively looking for a job elsewhere, but there arent many openings in my small-ish town apart from retail and labor. I feel like Im being grossly underpaid to do specialized work that I wasnt even hired for. Ive been a project manager, designed and built several website for this company, ran a 9-month ad campaign including designing all the materials that went out, become a salesforce administrator, and done the work of my colleagues who all make over double what I make while they slack off...all while making less than my friends who work retail and with no recognition from my manager and boss. In my year here, Ive realized that I know more about these things than my colleagues, but hate to make this a genderage thing, but my boss is from an oppressive culture since theyre older men and Im a younger female, half the time my boss just assumes my colleagues did the work and doesnt believe me when I explain that it was actually me.How do I approach this at my review? Do I bring a list of all the work Ive done, along with the average salaries from these fields in our area? I dont know that I have enough time to get a counter offer from another company and Im not sure an opening at another company nearby even exists...Thank youAssistant: Maybe its just time to find another job. Put together a portfolio and solid resume. You will find that the job market might just snatch you up. Half of my creative employees work from home so I would not worry about the job market of your town.Human: This. Theyre banking on you just continuing to get the shaft and probably have no real interest in giving you a meaningful raise. Get a portfolio together and start hunting. Dont even feel bad when you put in your 2 week notice.Assistant: Dont even feel bad when you put in your 2 week notice.Trust me - I wont!  <response>: Hijacking the top thread to say, this is pretty common and it happened to me. I was hired at a real estate agency to make copies, send faxes, keep spreadsheets up to date, and update a website and when the realtor learned that I could do a little PHPMySQLweb design, that got abused hardcore. She eventually fired me when she ran out of web work to do... and yes, I was making 10hr. the entire time. An employer who thinks like this isnt going to come around. Theyve been getting your best for 10hr for a year, who the fuck are you to decide youre worth 40 or more? Get out of there politely enough to use them for a reference in the future, and youll have done well for future cjgr1.
