Yeah not "your pay + his"
Totally agree with this. It may be a pay bump, but not a double +.
Which if you think about it, should be given to the employee to was able to improve things so much as to not need another body.
Right? Clearly the business said "hell we need X people, but so-n-so dropped that need to just 1 person" to which he should be given the full salary!
I could see a percentage of that. "so-n-so cut us down from 4 to 3 people in efficiencies. Lets give that person 20% of the efficiencies added to their paycheck as saying thank you."
Yeah, I was being over zealous, but a decent bump. None of this 1-3% crap that constantly happens.
Agree, that's a cost of living increase, not a raise. In Texas, HR is required to notify you if you receive a raise, but not a cost of living increase. If it is more than 3% its a raise, otherwise, its a cost of living increase.

@scottalanmiller Not atypical. Rarely do I call Comcast, but hold times are always atrocious. Irony = I've never had a problem with the residential side of things.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Your reaction to this is almost perfectly neutral.
More work is fine, providing the pay matches the increased responsibility.
Yeah it never does.
We shall see
So when I started where I am currently it was purely a helpdesk / jr sys admin type of thing. There were 2 interns at the time.
I've since built the entire infrastructure up, from designing the backup system to the hypervisors and everything else in between.
Was there a bump, sure, was it enough of a bump / responsibility and chain of command to deal with the added workload and stress, nope.
This is your fault for doing things significantly above your responsibility without negotiating a change in your employment terms with your employer.

Nothing fishy was caught however a great deal of relaxation was had. Many beers and scotch's were had and it was beautiful. I will post epic pics once work calms down a bit (sweet jebus).

Ha. dick, no its a part of the job to find inefficiencies. And then fix them, the employer should see the savings. Not the employee refusing to fix those inefficiencies without more pay.
