August 2016
High Expectation, Low Rewards.
Executive Assistant:
Pros: I get to work from home on Fridays.
Cons: I am expected to do a lot for my job but year after year I am only offered the "standard" raise of 2%. My boss constantly says that he can't run his business without me, but that never correlates into my salary. My boss chooses not the work about 50% of the week, and I am expected to handle everything at the office, but again no consideration of this at review time. My 3 year review is coming up in September and given all the work I did, and all the new responsibilities that I have been expected to take on and master with no guidance what so ever I feel I would be inline for a 15% raise, but I am sure that I will only be offered the "standard" raise of 2% again.

High Expectations, Low Rewards.
Executive Assistant:
Pros: I get to work from home on Fridays.
Cons: I am expected to do a lot and over the years have only ever received a "standard" raise. No matter how much extra work is thrown at me no consideration is given at my review time. My boss is never here and I am expected to run the office alone at least 50% of every week, but again no consideration of this at review time. My boss includes his expenses for having an employee in with my "compensation" so that it raises what he thinks he is paying me. My 3 year review is coming up and I feel I am in line for at least at 15% raise based on the amount of work I currently do for the company, but I know I will be give the "standard" raise again of 2% since my boss doesn't want to pay me for all the work I do for him so he doesn't have to work much.
