Am I crazy to ask for a raise? Here is my situation:
- Currently titled IT Manager
- 230-ish employee's in the company, 150 PCs/laptops
- I'm responsible for everything from new employee setup (email, AD, Cisco Call Manager, vendor websites, etc...) to desktop support to networking.
- We will be hiring someone to help me do desktop support in the next 60 days, which will work under me
- I manage our document archiving system, all servers including Kaspersky anti-virus, domain (and back-up) controllers, Exchange server, internal business system, all wireless routers, all switches/routers/ASA's, etc... Basically if it is anything to do with a computer, networking, printing, faxing, or anything mobile, I'm the guy.
I currently make $70,000 salary, work around 50 hours per week, all normal hours. I'm obviously "on call" at nights and weekends if an emergency comes up. I get another $10,000 per year in bonus, so $80k total.
To top it off, I'm also in charge of marketing for the entire company, plus I started an online/eBay store about 2 years ago that is still under my control. We generate around $800,000 per year off of that.
I do most things myself, but have vendors to help with CallManager and networking that gets beyond the basics. I setup all the new phones, change ring patterns, etc... When there is some issue that arises, I call in the "experts" and let them have at it.
So what do you think? Should i ask for a raise?
