<prompt> Human: Ive been working for my company,which is a sign shop, for 2 years now and have been getting paid 10. I live in NY and the minimum wage isnt too far from that. I originally started off at 9.50 but got a 50 cent raise for proving im not an idiot. I was promised more raises if i could hit mile stones such as taking on new responsibilities. Since then i am the manager of the production department when the supervisor is not around and the installations i do make the company from 6-80,000. And just last week i got put in charge of running our CNC machine and a raise wasnt even mentioned. Has anyone else been through something like this and what did you do?  <response>: Its a great business decision that your management is making - why pay someone more when you can just give them more duties without paying them?You need to ask for a raise in environments like this - or else your supervisor will continue giving you new duties and not additional pay to compensate you for it.Just arrange a meeting with your supervisor, and lay out calmly all of the new duties youve been given. Then ask if your compensation can be adjusted to match those new responsibilities.
