Okay so that’s an 8% raise. I’d def argue for more at the yearly review but it wouldn’t hurt to bring it up now.

However if they will be stingy then it will be hard for you to convince them because they already decided that the “manager” position is not essential and they can just pay another worker a little bit more to do the higher level work the manager did.

At that point the only thing you would be able to do would be less efficient so garner OT. You’d also just have the option to quite like the Manager did.
