Judi - what I did was ask them to re-write my job description and then used that as a case of saying 'here's my new job' compared to what you hired me for so can I have some more dosh please

Its never easy but if you put forward a good case they at least should consider it - even if they cant afford it now.

Problem is that they are asking me to do a job I have no experience of - I am sort of flattered that they think I can do it and they have offered me loads of support gain the skills I need - perhaps I don't believe I deserve more money cos I don't know what I'm doing!

So what they've asked you so they know you can do it!

Another tack is to wait till a few months in and then go for it but its risky because they might say 'ah but you've been doing it already'

Or you could ask to be put on a probationary period for the extra stuff and subject to completion of this in six months you get a pay rise...

Honestly - dont ask and you dont get!! Trust me on this - I sat quiet in my job for ages and only mentioned something in passing at the xmas do and now next week I am interviewing for a new role that they have created with me in mind! Imagine if I hadnt said anything :eek:

Elfen - when I feel like that I put some tunes on and have a dance around

elfen

beck, I'm not in the mood to dance around, I'm not in the mood to do anything, just feel like complete and total !!!!.

My OH is talking about quiting his job, and I've pointed out a few things that we'd need ot buy another car, how woul;d we survive off of my wages and pay the mortgage etc. And I get shot down for always being like that when he says he's going to quit!

Tell him it's a wonderful idea. You have in mind a sparkling self-employed career for him: On the docks in leather shorts...

I have suffered from these recurring throat infections since we moved into the new build at work, I am almost convinced that it has something to do with the air conditioning re-cycling all the germs around the college.

Buildings now have to be air-tight (literally - there's a test) for reasons of energy saving.

If you google "sick building syndrome" it gives you some idea.
