I got a 13% raise.. that puts me about 15%-20% under the 'market value' for my position. When 'given' the raise I sent it back and asked for them to take another look at my review, etc..
I was given a 'hint' that they may come back and say that they "feel that this position was designed with a lower pay in mind" i.e. that it was never intended to pay so much..
what would be a good response? The only thing I can think of is that if they feel like they can get by with hiring someone who knows nothing about the position then go ahead... but I would rather not give the impression that I don't want my job either..
