That is excellent! So many of us find it difficult to ask for adequate compensation for the jobs we do, good for you being assertive!

I love that story. I'm going to file it away for future reference...either my own, or my students'. Thanks!

Thanks everyone! During the meeting I was having this horrible sense of dejavu, when 10 years ago I was in a similar situation. Except that I accepted my "new position" would be a "lateral" move even though it was much more responsibility and stress! I was not going to let that happen again.

Good for you for making the terms up front! I've been known to take on the responsibility, THEN ask for the raise & get the shuffling feet & mumbling scene.
Hooray for you!To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

Well done! File away a Plan B in the back of your mind in case something doesn't work out in four months.
