<prompt> Human: So we had a reorg at work and one person went on another team and I needed up taking on everything they were doing. Essentially now doing the jobs of two. It was something I was happy to take on as it is what I wanted to be involved in but at the same time my boss said he would try to get me an equity raise due to the increased responsibility. Raise time comes around and just got the standard raise 3. Talked to my bosses boss and he said these things dont usually happen during the normal cycle but were trying to get it through. Kept getting week after week that Ill soon have an update. Now the talk is that they are trying to get me a bonus now and an equity raise in Q4 for normal raise time next year. Due to timing which by the way they told me these dont usually happen in the normal cycle. Where should I go next? Some of this is because one person they thought was leaving got to stay and work remote. If they left I would have moved into that role and increase with it. The bonus to me feels like Ill be shorting myself in the long run and Ive asked my boss to stop scheduling time to discuss if he doesnt have any real news as its just stressing me out. FYI - the person whos job Im now doing plus my normal job makes more than me but I know I cant use their pay as ammo. Where should I go next? TLDR- took on more responsibility, told to expect a raise. Now told it wont happen till next year. Edit: grammar  <response>: For sure dont take the bonus-just ask for the same bonus amount in a salary increase if you decide to stay. You may lose out on the chunk of cash in the short term but year over year it will be in your favor, whereas the bonus is in theirs. Taking the bonus is definitely their hope and a stop gap measure to hopefully appease you and distract you from the runaround theyre giving about the salary increase
