The only way you get a real raise is to move to a different company. Once you are in and they have you locked in your raises still aren't as much as the increase of a different company would be.

The people that asked the most for raises were the first to get laid off because it looked to management that they weren't happy in their position anymore if they are looking for money.

With all due respect, I find that hard to believe.

I've never heard of that working out well.

Usually it's "Okay, have fun working there then!"

Or, you could get the raise - but will always be known as the one who has questionable loyalty.

Well, it depends on how its presented to management. I've seen it work...

I've done that a few times while in the same company...even landed myself a 45% increase once...it's possible
 
do you have yearly performance evals? that is about the time to ask for a raise. but since you just had this new project and new responsibility tacked on, it's not out of this universe to ask for additional compensation (since you never got your raise for your new position anyways)
 
I think I'm going to wait until December to bring it up. My position title will officially change in HR AND we will have completed our performance appraisals by then. If I don't get one I will be able to provide a case to get one.

My main issue is the overtime. I have two jobs; I already work 45ish at the full time and 12ish at the part time. If they need me to work more I want to be paid for it.
 
get all your info together. when you were hired, under what conditions you were hired (job spefs), what you have taken over since and when, and what other people in your job elsewhere are getting paid. make it easy...put all the facts in front of them (time, numbers, increase of responsibilities) and it should make it hard not to give you something. you can do it tactfully and gracefully...i mean, cost of living goes up every year...it's not unfeasible to ask for raises.

Most companies are freezing raises so I say you wait.

Its really not about getting a raise. To me a raise it doing the job that you were hired to do and getting yearly increased based on performance. I am doing a completely different job, which if I had applied for and been transferred I would have received a pay increase.
