Hey, this is Barbara Corker, and you are now tuned in to business unusual, and everything

you ever learned about business, throw it out the window.

I'm going to tell you the real deal, listening.

Today I'm going to answer all your burning questions about work,

life, starting a company, getting on track, and much, much more. Be sure to call in to

the Business Unusual Hotline with your question at 888 Barbara.

That's 888 B-A-R-B-A-R-A.

Today's episode is presented by Clavio, that's K-L-A-B-I-Y-O. I'm going to

my name's Ellen. I'm calling from Dallas Texas. I love you on Shark Tank. Love the

podcast. I am calling kind of looking for some advice on what I should do at work. I'm currently an office manager at a corporate office for apartment complexes. I was hired a little over a year ago. I'm extremely grateful. I had no experience

straight out of college and I am on an hourly wage and now I'm doing so much more

work. People have been laid off due to COVID and I've now taken on the responsibilities of an

Operations Assistant and Social Media Manager and I am now running all of our social media accounts with the same pay.

People are still being laid off, and I know the company is really tight on money right now,

but I still think I should be paid for more work that I'm doing.

So do you have any advice for that? Should I maybe wait it out a few months? Should I bring it up? Or should I just wait for our quarterly review in March? Any advice would be extremely helpful. Thank you. Bye-bye.

First of Ellen, the reason you haven't been laid off with some of your other colleagues is you have

enormous great energy and you probably could handle about anything that's thrown at you. So look at yourself in the

mirror and say, wow, there's one great worker looking back at me. With that kind of

of a confidence that your job is well done and the people you work with

think well of you or they wouldn't be giving you more responsibilities and they

think well of you or you would have been one of the people that was laid off
