<prompt> Human: Im pretty new to the adult world. I managed to get a full-time job for a RMA department. When I applied for this job they said I would handle CPU,MEM and HDD.2 months in my other colleague who has been working 2 months longer than me talks with management and I get handed another task, Power Supplies. So now I do CPU, MEM, HDD and PWS. 2 months later, I get even more tasks I now also have to handle shipments to USA. Meanwhile my other colleague is constantly making mistakes and is almost always absent hes already gone though all his sickvacation days, which my supervisor has to fix.He has a contract for 7 months which got extended last month.Cause of all the mistakes he makes, they dont trust him with any job anymore so everything is now put on me.I feel like its unfair how I am doing everything especially since we are getting paid the same amount.Is it ok to ask for a raise when Ive been only working here for 6 months?  <response>: I personally wouldnt... Yes you are doing a lot and your boss may not notice it but keep it up and wait for the yearly or quarterly review. Collect some numbers and figures and present it then. Show that you are doing the work of 2 or 3 people and then ask for an appropriate raise. I know it sucks having to do all that work but a lot of bosses want to see that their new employees can handle stress without complaint. The yearly or quarterly reviews are the places for asking raises because that is when your boss can take a real second to look at your workload and adjust for it accordingly. In my first 6 months, I was loaded up with 3 workers worth of client loads and struggled but I proved my worth and secured my job for the next 5-10 years providing I dont do anything radical. Unless you are in a really high demand field, I would focus on proving my worth and job security than on getting paid more when you are still new.
