It can be flattering to be given more responsibility at work. Who doesn’t want to think they’re doing a good job?!

But if you’ve been given more responsibility with no pay rise – that isn’t a promotion. It’s just more work.

It’s something I hear about a lot, especially at the moment. Extra responsibility gets packaged up as an exciting opportunity, or a sign that you’re valued. You might well be doing a great job – but if your wages don’t reflect the responsibility you’re carrying, something isn’t right – and you deserve to do something about it.

This is exactly what happened to a reader who wrote in to The i Paper career column this week.
