exactly what I don't get with capitalism. Why should I work faster and harder if my salary doesn't go up faster and I get more tasks?
They want you to work in advance and for you to ask them later with thorough explanation for justifying a raise. They'll decide later (end of the year) performance review or salary review.
I applied for an extra role at work last year. They were reluctant to give it to me "because I hadn't already been doing it" (for free)...shows that I'm not keen. Why the hell would I have done this before when I had any time or resource for it? They didn't have any other applicants so they gave it to me anyway.....but WTF
Do you really not appreciate a monthly pizza lunch????

My mom told me at a young age that "the reward for a job well done is more work"
Drawing that line of responsibility and pay is a constant learning process. Saying no, not letting your ego drive you.
ALWAYS keep a copy of your job description handy
those 5% other duties and responsibilities should never be more then a few minutes a week and a couple hours a pay period
if they ever want to change your job description, you should get a raise out of it or you should use that as a indicator that your about to get fucked
February: Best review possible, got a raise and bonus.
June: Laid off after 17 years at the company, to maximize profit.
Capitalism is balls.
When I start at a job, I always start out slower just to set the baseline for expectations.
I start at 80% in a few months I start giving it 90% so they think I improved

They can't increase the work day so they pressure you to do more in the same time. More profit for them, more stress for you.

I’ve been working for the same company the last 10 years at just over minimum wage out of comfort. Maybe it’s time Jefferson’s this bitch.
Punished for success. It makes you realize that you need to set boundaries. Work will punish you for being a good employee, but that only lets you know how valuable you are — at this job or the next.
Minimum wage, minimum effort. Always.
"You're team lead" - more responsibility without a pay increase.
That ICQ icon though.
