Is this practice common? 1 Quality Manager covering QA, QC, QE, SQE

Re: Is this practice common?

Gee, Wes. Now I'm all ashamed of only being a QA Manager.
Maybe I should have rethought giving up a QA Director job to step "down" to a QA Manager job with a different company for a lot more money and larger staff of degreed professionals.
I guess I'm not a real manager anymore.

a little snarky but on point. Titles aren't always indications of the real responsibilty that a position has.

The salary should fit the responsibility and expectations.
I often see 'new' people hired in a thigher salaries for the same responsibilty than those who have been at a company for long periods of time. Good companies make equity adjustments and reward for positional responsibilty.

If I were the OP I would ask for a raise.

Of course I've also seen these types of consoloidations as a 'test' folowed by a raise a year later...

Yep. The employee should be able to say, "Prove to me how much you love me by the size of my paycheck!"

And do you think that this will fly? :mg:

Your value to upper management is the total cost to replace you.

Note the difference between "should" and "shall"
"Should" is in the "nice to be able to" category. If it were a "shall," the unemployment rolls would be a lot higher!

My point is:
"love" and "value" equate to the same thing when a paycheck is concerned. Bosses who don't "love" [or even "like"] employees [by recognizing their value to both the organization and the boss] soon find a way to show it by either direct firing or withholding raises to force the employee out.

I apologize if the first comment was too subtle to convey my point.

It's not very common for employees of people who love or like them to be put in the OP's position.

The up against 3 gi-normous obstacles:

1. I never finished my degree.. and I really don't have time to finish it now.
2. I've been here so long (20 yrs) and management knows I do not want to leave.
3. The recession has made it very easy to get a Phd-type person for not a whole lot more $ to replace me..

• My plan is to start getting ASQ certifications, and sigma training.

I'm a Quality Control Mgr. over everything quality PPAP, APQP, CA, ..etc.. The gentleman who took care of our TS "system" left the company and all of those responsibilities fell into my lap, of course with no more $ .. Is it common to have 1 Quality Manager covering QA, QC, QE, SQE and every other acronym with a Q in it?

As far as getting a raise is concerned, maybe all you need is some new shirts.
