I work in IT for a large company. My team has been understaffed for years, and management has finally gotten the ok for new positions on my team.
I just stumbled upon a job posting, equivalent to mine, but the pay range for it is above what I make. I’m the “team lead” for my team and have been leading mostly overpaid contractors for the last couple years. I’m also the expert for our very specialized application, so anyone new is going to be trained by me. What can I do about this?
To add to my rage at this situation, I asked to get a raise about a year ago. Ultimately, after waiting for months, I was told it wasn’t going to happen. I’m well respected at my company, and get praise from both my direct management and other teams as an integral cog who makes our machine go. I don’t see why management would OK new positions at a higher pay rate to bring in people they know nothing about our systems when the won’t equally pay someone who has been performing at a high level for the last few years.
Looking for any suggestions on how to go forward.
Also, sorry for any bad grammar or formatting. I’m on mobile and quite pissed at the moment.
