About a year ago I was assigned a direct report without receiving a promotion or promotional increase/salary adjustment. Direct-management/supervision is not part of my job description. In fact, my job description states “supervisory responsibilities, none.” I created the new hire’s job description, interviewed, hired, trained, assign work, supervise and perform performance appraisals among a host of other responsibilities.

When I raised this issue with HR, they stated: “Compensation wants to see how you do managing the new hire for a year before re-evaluating.” It has now been well over one-year and still no promotion or increase for the additional responsibilities. I have raised this issue again and they were going to “look into it.” Well, that was almost three months ago. Truth, is I doubt anyone is looking into it. Basically, they now have had the benefit of a manager for the past year without having to pay a manager’s salary. In a nutshell, if they are not willing to promote and compensate me for the manager/supervisor role, I do not want the responsibility of a direct-report. Can they change my job description and insist I take on a direct report without a promotion or promotional increase?
