My boss keeps increasing my job duties and responsibilities without increasing my pay. I am completely piled up with work and spread thin. What do I do?

[Anonymous No.13063307]

Tell him to
>lighten your work load
Or
>pay your more money

And if you don't, tell him you're going to quit!

Well you can blame the chinks for this. The guy who created "lean manufacturing". And that has spread throughout all divisions.

>>13063279
tell him you are already swamped in work and ask him what you should do first, do not work overtime
if he puts pressure on you look for another job, when you get it you can negotiate about getting more money freely since you have an exit plan

My dad is offering to have me work at his office doing his accounting/finances. So thats my exit plan

I just fucking hate how everyone's job is so compartmentalized, they literally only do one thing. But since Im the young college grad I have to work cross-departments under multiple managers. Its fucking gay. I was originally hired as an accountant FFS. Now im doing endless menial excel reports

Should I just ask for a raise, or just put in my two week notice and that way they can offer me something as I leave?

Maybe schedule a meeting with your direct boss and have a non-threatening talk about your wishes and worries :)
If at the end of the talk you don't feel like working there anymore you can quit according to your contract.

Politely ask your boss for a raise without sounding like a pussy. If he/she still doesn't give it just quit and find a better job

[Anonymous No.13063706]

>>13063279
Don't do it. Just do what is your normal responsibility, and every time he asks about the extra work tell him you haven't had time to get around to it. Eventually he will get the picture and stop asking

They'll pile a shit ton of work on you, get as much as possible done and replace you with some other young person. Just quit dude. My last wagie job massively declined and I ended up doing 3 people jobs and quit. A large savings can be a great buffer and stress reliever when jobs get worse like this. I've been on off neet thanks to good saving habits. Good luck

the thing is no one has any idea how to do my job or what I do. So if I leave theyre completely fucked. Plus I handle literally ALL the customers phone calls, and no one in the office knows or wants to deal with that

>caring about a company and how no one else can do the job
Don't worry if you leave they'll find another schmuck just like you.
They clearly don't give a shit about you, why do you care about them? Demand a raise and/or threaten to leave and inform them how no one wants to do the job that you do for low wages, you Mexican

This is supposedly pretty common with accountants since they're seen as the flexible know it alls of corporate. Just ask for more money or less work

[Anonymous No.13064621]

It really is this simple.

OP if you don't have kids you should be a lot more bold. You have nothing to worry about.

I have kids and I still might quit my job. You want to talk about pressure. Man. Little people depend on my income.

If I was you I wouldn't give a fuck.

Learn to push back or you'll be doing the work of three people in no time.

Passive ways to push back - for all the extras, email him back with proposals on exactly how to do it, where his input is needed. Make it a feedback cycle where the more he gives you the more he has to do himself.

Active methods - sort by priority and only do highest priority work. Ignore the low priority work, when asked about it, present what you've done and ask whether priorities have changed. Only do what a normal human being can do in 8h to stay sane. Good luck

Ask for a raise and if they don't oblige just find something else.

I let this happen to myself over 4+ years thinking that I would be able to work my way up, but you never will. Next thing I knew I was the last of the department remaining, without a dime extra, doing the job of 6 past employees. Tried to ask for a raise multiple times unsuccessfully, only to end up with ~5% promised over the course of a year and spaced quarterly. Boomers.

Immediately found a new gig, quit, left them with nobody, and now I'm making 20% more than before and with much less work.

Find an other job, you will get a bigger salary and you can start to work very relaxed.
I’ve literally done the same, they were giving me a shitty salary and people with half of the experience and way younger than me was earning more then me. I also had to train them and this was pissing me off a lot.
Found a job paying double of the salary and I’ve started working very relaxed.
First day of work I smoked a fat joint to lower my IQ and the expectation the company had on me, and I’m literally keeping myself retarded with controlled dose of weed to stay relaxed at work. At the end of the month I still get paid because also high on drugs I’m pretty skilled...

Best advice so far, but you have to be careful doing this. If you take it too far, you will come off as incompetent and unable to perform your job, which will put you at risk of being terminated. The key is learning to push back just enough that you are no longer seen as the "office pushover", but not so much that you seem like you can't do your job. You want to do it just enough that your boss choose an easier target to dump their extra work on instead of you.

Apply for other jobs, with the little experience you have, you'll be ahead of any college grads.

Secure an offer, then tell your boss you want a raise or you're fucking out of there.

[Anonymous No.13065110]

>>13065060
the most based response
applying for jobs whilst having one puts you in a position with far more leverage
you will be up against many grads who are desperate to land something, but you have the fall back of your old job
makes you look better than your competition, as you have obviously landed a job before

good luck OP. remember, they will fire you in an instant if they think it would benefit them, have 0 loyalty

[Anonymous No.13065149]

>>13063279
Dont stress. Pace yourself. Just do what you can and save the rest for the next day. They will always try to maximize your output, it is good business to do so. However, you are in full control of the output. So stop acting so desperate it gives him leverage. Or just man up and aak for a raise.
