Andy Jorgensen said: We had already promised a raise, and moved forward with it. It came with additional responsibilities though. I'm not just going to give you money without expecting something in return.
Just curious, and I won't be offended if you don't say, but what additional responsibilities did you give them? I guess the best way to ask, what did you change in their job descriptions? Or what responsibilities did you add? Was this just your assistants or other team members?
Of course I'm guessing (which I should know better than to do) that before they had pretty industry standard job descriptions? Which I guess leads to a more overall reaching questions to everyone, especially when it comes to assistants. What do you give them responsibility for? (which is somewhat being discussed in the mentoring thread elsewhere on the forum.
Thanks!
