<prompt> Human: Im not sure if this is a right sub, but I read a lot of good advice here on similar subjects.Basically, my job is managing a department at a Start-Up. As of right now I am working 50-60 hour weeks and working from home. They approached me about a promotion their words about managing an off-site warehouse 600 miles away. I can do most of it by email, but I occasionally have to fly there.I was really excited that my hard work was paying off, but in the meantime I am still running my old department and training my replacements while at the same time learning my new job.When they offered me the position, they used the words promotion and talking about your long-term career here. So naturally I was thinking they were alluding to more pay.Well 2 weeks have gone by and I am working around the clock to get everything right. I have no worklife balance and I am exhausted. My motivations are 1 the promotion and pay increase and 2 the whole start-up promise of Youll be glad years from now when we all cash in and this company is big!The conversation about compensation has not happened. Frankly, Im pissed. I am going to have to bring it up, and the fact that I have to bring up the compensation half of my promotion pisses me off too. I am paid a salary of 35k, which isnt shit since I live in the most expensive housing market in the country. I have well over 10 years experience in operations as well as a degree from a top school. My opinion is that everything I am doing with my experience is worth at minimum 50k.I am debating many different ways of handling this, but I was hoping for some feedback from the financially literate on this sub.What would you do? How would you handle it?EDIT: Thank you everyone for your replies. Everyone posted sensible and thoughtful advice on how to approach my problem. I couldnt reply until now because I was working so much since I posted this. I think I am going to take today my only day off, but still a little work to do from home to relax and cool off. I am going to request a meeting with my boss tomorrow morning first thing and ask him if this promotion was in title only with no intention of increasing my pay. If he answers there was no immediate pay increase, I am going to tell him how I feel. Basically, I want to see the company to succeed and I love being a part of the team, but I am not going to put the needs of the company ahead of my own needs. I am underpaid for my previous position, let alone the 3 positions I am doing at the same time now. If I had known there was no pay increase, I would not have taken the position. I am going to request 50k and say if the company will not pay that, I am more than happy to go back to doing my old job and give back the new responsibilities.I am fully aware that if they say no, my time at this company is effectively over, even if I go back to just doing my old job. I am taking the time to polish up my resume, update my LinkedIn and do some relevant job searches. I have a very small emergency fund 1000, thank you PF! plus another 2k in my checking and plenty of open credit cards. So I know I have a buffer if the worst happens and I am out of a job. I know I am an incredibly hard worker, I am smart and I learn things quickly, and I am willing to dedicate a lot of time to my job if I feel I am being treated fairly. Any company would be lucky to have me on their team.I am going to take this as an opportunity to re-evaluate where I am in life. Do I want to return to school? Do I want to brush up on my web coding skills and content creation skills? Do I want to stay in warehouse operations and supply chain management? Do I want to try something completely different?Thank you again PF. This subreddit has helped me so much through this thread and through reading daily on how to manage my finances.  <response>: Set up a meeting with the relevant people as soon as you have some breathing room. In person. Prior to the meeting, prep for it by creating a short sheet that lists your added responsibilities, followed by your accomplishments thus far. If you can monetize those accomplishments, do it. e.g. Found us a warehouse space for X under budget or Sold X amount of stuffFurther prep, research the market salary. If you can, include your sources. At the bottom of the sheet put the market rate. You can search glassdoor if applicable, but the best way is to talk to others in the field.In the meeting, give the sheet to them. Run through it in a brief talk. Ive taken on these additional responsibilities. Ive accomplished these things which have made the company bettermore profitable. The market salary rate for a similar position is X. If you want, you can add Id be willing to take Y because of whatever - they are small or a startup or you just like them.The goal is to get them to agree that the market rate is fair, followed by agreeing that they have the money to pay you. If you do your homework, the main argument is going to be about having the money to pay you.The best thing to say if they dont have money in my experience is Its not if you can afford to give me a raise - its if you can afford the time and money to replace me. Tone is important, though - this isnt a threat, just a fact. You are forcing them to change their frame of mind. Right now they are thinking, Where will this 15k come from in our budget? but they really need to be thinking, What will we do if OP leaves? How much would it cost to replace him? Would we need 2 people? How long would it take to hire and train someone?It is important to do all of this very calmly, professionally. Dont be pissed, dont bring up the compensation of other employees, and dont bring your personal financial situation into it. This is about the value you create for them and how they are reflecting it in your pay.
