The scenario is that at my work there is a new job advertised for a relief supervisor position.
I would have to change my roster for this position which would actually mean a decrease in pay even with the increased rate I would get on those 30 something times per year that I'll be acting in a supervisory role. This decrease is due to a less favourable roster in terms of penalty rates (i.e. no sundays). In fact to make up for the drop in pay I would have to pick up an extra shift and work 6 hours extra per fortnight.
So would you take on more responsibilities, work 6 more hours, work a shift with more late night finishes (midnight instead of 6pm), all for the same money to become a relief supervisor?
I'm currently on 70K per year or thereabouts. The new position pays the same if I pick up an extra shift. The one reason to take the position is that it then qualifies me to one day apply for a full supervisory position. That pays around 92k - 115k per year. That might take anywhere from 3 - 10 years to become a full supervisor...
The alternative is that I just accept my 70k per year salary and focus on making money in other ways. I can start up my own business on the side and get some good income that way potentially. Or I can just focus on property to make the bigger $$$ and forget about trying to get ahead in my day to day job as the pay off for the effort and potential of a very long wait for the pay off may not be worth it...
So what do you think? Should I bother?
