I applied for promotion and successfully got the job! Talent team call to offer position and confirm salary. I felt it was low but as I haven’t been a manager previously I went in with the intention of proving myself for 6 months then seeing if it could be negotiated.
For context while I haven’t officially been a manager before I do have all the skills required for the job and have done training/people management in a previous role.
Pay offered was £30k. Today I discover that someone I’ll be managing is on £500 a year less and others not far off. I find this quite insulting as I will be managing a large team and it’s quite a full on job involving a fair bit of travel.
My previous manager that I’m replacing started on £36k + £3500 car allowance with no prior experience and it was later increased to nearly £40k with car allowance.
I’m obviously not happy and feel it’s quite an insult. I don’t want to rock the boat right at the start but feel I’m well within my rights to request my pay be increased I’m just not sure of the best way to go about it as I anticipate I’ll get quite a lot of resistance. Inconsistent pay is currently an issue in this company. Any advice welcome!
