Date: 09/13/06 (WebDesign) Keywords: web Question about income here. Long story short – I work as the sole in house designer for a corporation in Gainesville florida. When I was hired I was solely the web master and I built 2 websites plus redesigned the intranet. Once that was finished I branched out and began doing all the design both web wise and print wise which saves the company a lot of money. I play creative director, project manager and designer all rolled up into one person and I am incredibly busy most of the time. When I first started I was seated with the IT dept. It was a stifling environment for me plus most of the people I do work for are NOT in IT. The head of IT is your typical passive aggressive control freak and not a good manager plus he dislikes me. In short – I was told I’m being moved to the department where I should have been in the first place which is a good thing – but my annual review was one of the worst in my career and he made me feel as if the decision was not in my favor. He changed my managers excellent scores for me from 4’s to 2’s and made comments on the review that were off the mark and unwarranted. I was supposed to get a raise that would take me from 34K a year to 40K a year and because of his dislike for me he gave a 1300 dollar a year raise instead. Not horrible, but not what someone who has been doing the work of 3 people with no one directly managing my time should get. He didn’t want me to move – my new boss specifically asked for me to be moved and everyone there sees the work I do which, not to sound like a snob, is excellent and always on time.
