Sooo,
I've been working at this company for over a year now. The company has 3 venues where the work is pretty much hospitality, and an office where people have... Office job.
I'm part of one of the site teams, so essentially working in hospitality. But, I've now managed to get a new position, I now do one day a week in the office. My manager (site team junior manager) also has the same position where they do one day a week. There is someone else full time at this position as well, so essentially all 7 days are covered.
This new position is, imo, a lot more responsibility than the hospitality position that I have, as I directly handling money, card details, bookings, and also liaising with all of our customers, including important ones that drop a lot money and hire out the space. And quite frankly, all that responsibility makes it more stressful as well, as if you up, you can really put site teams in trouble/lose money.
For my hospitality position, I'm getting paid national living wage, which is fair. For my office job, my wage is unchanged. I asked why, got told it was an extension of my role. Icky, but fair.
My problem is, I know that my manager's wage is the same when she's at that position. And naturally, as a manager, she gets paid more than me. But when we do that office job, we have the exact same title. So she's essentially getting paid more than me for doing the same thing (and I'd argue that I'm better at the job than she is).
I also know that the person who was in our position before was getting paid more than her as well.
Now, with living costs increasing, living wage has increased as well, all the wage workers got a raise, and I'm happy about that. But it's because the company has to.
I'm still reaaaaaally iffy about not getting paid more for my office position, though. Right now, a lot of people are getting raises (oddly enough, the gm has even advised some people to not talk about their raises, so lol I think shady things are going on) so idk if I should speak up.
I definitely want to speak up, but I'm waiting for the best time, which might be when I have really proven myself, and made myself indispensable to the team.
I'm expecting my manager to leave soon, so they'll prolly turn to me and ask me to do 2 days/week.
We shall see
But low-key ew, this is making me want to leave but I do not have the energy to look for a job
