Long story short, I have been approached by my director for a promotion to supervisor, in which I would have 10 full time employees under me. In addition to my new responsibilities, I will have to continue doing my current technical job and all the responsibilities associated with it because management does not want to backfill my position. I have been offered a 2% increase in pay for this promotion.
Personally, I do not feel the additional work and responsibility is worth only a 2% increase to my salary. I would be interested in and happy to take the promotion and am stating my case for better compensation before I decide; however, I do not see the current offer as a fair deal. I would be doing a job worth between $60-80k plus benefits on the open market in addition to what I am already doing, while only being compensated a minute fraction of that.
If my negotiations fail, I do not think I would want to trouble myself with all the extra work for so little extra pay. How can I tactfully decline this promotion? I really like my job, am treated well here, and do not plan on leaving regardless of the outcome of this situation. As such, I do not want to jeapordize my current job in turning this down. All responses are greatly appreciated, thank you!
