To find salary offered an insult?

[Willowtree5]

As part of a restructure, I have been asked if I would take on three direct reports (I currently don’t manage anyone, but have in the past - big pull of current role was no line management responsibility).

I said I’d consider it - whilst I know I can manage people, it does add to my workload and the ‘mental load’ of dealing with all the crap around sickness/absence, 1:1’s etc.

My manager said she’d establish what additional uplift to my salary would be possible and let me know.

They’ve come back with an offer of £125,000 (current salary pre bonuses £105,000) which I find frankly insulting given the workload this would add.

AIBU to tell them to stuff it?

How lucky you are to still have a job after a restructure! And to be offered more money to take on that responsibility. I think you’re being greedy.

Without knowing the job is impossible to say but if you want to take the job do if not don't and let someone else take it...

I doubt it's luck.

So, @HollyIvy89 , if I decide I want to restructure your job so you now have a completely different aspect added to it, are you being "greedy" to require proper payment for that?

Tbh I'd probs try and negotiate to £140k due to the tax implications

After tax, that is not much of an increase. However, in the current (terrible) economic climate it is a big cost for your employer. Look at the bigger picture. But if you don’t want to manage people - say “no”.

What industry are you in?

How much time and input is required by you to manage the additional people?

She said it already. Finance.

Make a counter offer. I would ask for double what they offered, or a 4 day week or something if they refused to match my counter. Otherwise gtf

Adding three people doesn’t impact your salary that much. I managed 5 people and was on £55k!

It’s a strange and goady OP.

I knew it was finance by your second post. The tone deafness of calling a 20% rise off £100k insulting is very typical of the bubble culture that finance is. I well recall people talking about ‘working for nothing’ in 2009, when their basic was £200k, as bonuses had been banned that year.

It seems a fair offer. You either want it or don’t want to manage the people, but it’s not derisory. I assume it could potentially lead to a higher bonus too.

Tell them to shove it.

You're obviously worth £17 zillion

Sad reality is that this is normal corporate behaviour.

maybe she lives in London though?

God. I’m in HE. Team of about 30, and large budgetary responsibilities. Just over £55k. I’m in Edinburgh, which although isn’t London prices, houses are ridiculously expensive. For what it’s worth, the London weighting for my role would take the salary to around £60k.
Given our industrial action over a 1.5% salary offer, I’d bite your hand off for a 20% salary rise, to take on 3 direct reports.

You might need if you live in London

I manage 11 people and don’t even get half of that. You need to calm down

Woe is you…
Get a fucking reality check

Only you can decide whether the extra money is worth the increase in workload or not.

If you don't want to do it, does it matter how much they offer?

If you're in London with nursery age kids, does your £105k salary mean you're effectively on less money than if you were on £99k? Or does the bonus make it worth it?

I used to manage a team of 4 people and earnt £42k. Fuck off with your brag about how much you earn

This is what I said a few hours ago but no response

@Willowtree5 They’ve come back with an offer of £125,000 (current salary pre bonuses £105,000) which I find frankly insulting given the workload this would add.

Never change, mumsnet.

While it looks great, I think the tax would really eat into the increase. Also Nb forthcoming budget end Nov.
I’d want the promoted role, personally, so I might ask for an increased holiday allowance perhaps? Untaxable and worth a great deal to me. But maybe not to you.

Bloody hell I manage 8 and don’t stop all day in a highly responsible and technical role and earn 44k. I’m in the wrong job!
