<prompt> Human: I work for a large fine dining restaurant chain. My GM is leaving at the end of the year and myself and one other manager are inheriting his workload until another GM is brought in. We were both passed up for the promotion because we werent tenured enough but we have been informed that we will be splitting his job responsibilities possibly until April. I believe we will be getting an experienced GM at the top of his pay grade since we are the flagship store in our region and a training location. My question is when should I ask for a raise, after I inherit the workload or before I get the new GM whos high salary Im afraid will eat up most of our management line? Thanks for the help!  <response>: Ask for it right away if you want one. Be prepared for them to say no. Are you willing to get a new job? Start looking.
