We've been out a signing TM basically since right after Christmas when our last signing TM was promoted to a TL position. We've also been extremely short handed in every area, so it wasn't until a couple months ago that they announced they were hiring for the position. I was encouraged my TL, my ETL and the previous signing TM to go for the position. I've been in need of extra money, plus I enjoy working on my own, so I went for it. They ended up originally not giving me the position, but their first pick ended up giving 2 weeks shortly after receiving training for better paying opportunities. Needless to say, I was very informally offered the position right after, and agreed without having a discussion about specific pay increase. Shortly after accepting the position, the $9 base pay was announced. I was not able to really jump into my new position with training and all until the week of reviews, so I wasn't surprised that they didn't give me my pay increase until then.
Here's where the pay comes into question. I was given an excellent during my review and my pay went from $8.25/hr to $9.76/hr. I asked during my review if that included my raise for taking the signing position. She wasn't sure and said she would get back to me. She told me later that yes, it was included. By that time I found out a a fellow TM (flow) who has been there 4 months less than me went from $8.25/hr to $9.67/hr. It seems a little absurd to me that I'm only making 9 cents more for taking on this extra responsibility? I enjoy the work (when I actually get the chance to do it!) but the fact that I could have just waited a couple weeks and probably received almost the same raise is frustrating. Help a newbie out, am I over reacting, was I just expecting to much? If I was shorted, is it worth bringing up, or is there no chance of getting a better raise at this point?
