Should be an interesting day.

About to deal with someone trying to impersonate our CEO in order to phish information.

Every Monday the same people forget their passwords. Like clockwork.
Use powershell to reset their password every Monday at 2AM to "Iforgotmypassword"
I make them wait until the last possible moment I can contractually. Not catering to it
Does that really help anyone? What's the logic there?
This is easy, it is not logic. It is emotion.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Your reaction to this is almost perfectly neutral.

More work is fine, providing the pay matches the increased responsibility.

So when I started where I am currently it was purely a helpdesk / jr sys admin type of thing. There were 2 interns at the time.
I've since built the entire infrastructure up, from designing the backup system to the hypervisors and everything else in between.
Was there a bump, sure, was it enough of a bump / responsibility and chain of command to deal with the added workload and stress, nope.
-
And really it was a SR Sys Admin, take over and drive the bus for us scenario.
So many things just off the rails when I started.

Basically what @DustinB3403 is saying, if I'm reading between the lines, is...if they want you to do the last guys job, then you get the last guys pay.

Yeah not "your pay + his"
Never works like that. Consolidate a 4 man team into a 2 man team. . . well look at that, just saved the business 50K!

Totally agree with this. It may be a pay bump, but not a double +.

Which if you think about it, should be given to the employee to was able to improve things so much as to not need another body.
Right? Clearly the business said "hell we need X people, but so-n-so dropped that need to just 1 person" to which he should be given the full salary!

I could see a percentage of that. "so-n-so cut us down from 4 to 3 people in efficiencies. Lets give that person 20% of the efficiencies added to their paycheck as saying thank you."

Yeah, I was being over zealous, but a decent bump. None of this 1-3% crap that constantly happens.

Agree, that's a cost of living increase, not a raise. In Texas, HR is required to notify you if you receive a raise, but not a cost of living increase. If it is more than 3% its a raise, otherwise, its a cost of living increase.
