Am I being unreasonable.

[hayos]

Hey fellow parents.

I need to know if I am I being unreasonable.

I went back to work and for the first time in a really long time I applied for the supervisor position and got it. I applied for it before but I didn't get it. I was in a bad place mentally.

So, my job. When I compare my pay from before and after promotion, my hours have not changed but my salary is £147 a year more than my previous job role but my new job has a whole lot more responsibilities. My responsibilities include managing a team of 12 people.

I have recently found out that people within my team who have been with the company 20 plus years are at the top of their salary banding (and rightly so), however their salary band over laps mine, meaning that I am being paid less than someone I have to manage and a couple of them do seem to enjoy making my job challenging.

Do I suck it up and tough it out because I should have mentioned it or looked this up prior to taking on the role or do I approach management and HR to renegotiate my contract?

Only £147 annually for a new job! That isn’t good enough! It’s less than £10 more a month!

r.e the pay
I progressed quite quickly in my organisation and there have been times where some of my direct reports made more than me or pretty similar… they had many years experience in the role and had benefited from some generous annual pay rises when the organisation had been bought over etc

i do out earn them all now- maybe 3 years later as my annual salary review was more generous than theirs so it eventually evened out however one way I thought of it was that this was a stepping stone to more exposure and opportunities and getting more money eventually

however that doesn’t mean that’s how it needs to be. Absolutely speak to Hr about your salary and review/research similar salary for like for like roles outside your company is your pay in line with the market

It’s more than £10 a month ignore me on that part but not far off
