I work in CRM marketing. The marketing executive was taken off of managing the brand on email and it was given to me (Marketing Assistant). She was sick for a few weeks, and when I managed email we had better performance and more compliments from the director. She then quit her job. I was told I’m being promoted to Marketing Executive because she has quit. However, there is no pay rise until April 2027 (I’m on £27,000 in UK). Is it normal for more responsibility without a pay rise? What is best for me to do in this situation? Can I say no to more responsibilities?
More context:
I’m coming up to 6 months in this role.
I have created record breaking email campaigns, ie best ever revenue week on email followed by 2nd, 3rd, 4th. And best ever revenue driven email.
They are also hiring an apprentice, which hasn’t been posted and the girl leaves next week! I will have to train them
