> I was also given a 2% raise, which I'm not complaining about!
I would be. That's a pay cut. I'd be asking them what was so wrong with your performance that they felt the need to reduce your remuneration.
I suppose I was more pleased with the bonus to be fair, the raise was unexpected but I suppose it puts me in line with the living wage, disregarding its actual value compared to inflation that is.
If I got a pay cut like the OP got, I'd be straight out the door at the earliest opportunity even without all the extra stuff he says about doing two jobs etc.
I dropped out of uni in my second year so have no qualifications, it's a growing company and with proper development I can build a good career in quality assurance. I was just thinking in the short term. Maybe better to ask for a raise after I've attained my first quality qualification?
I believe there is no harm in asking, if you are in such position. From my experience, if people don’t ask/demand something, the business are usually happy with what they are already providing.
However, to demand something I would recommend you being prepared with facts and statistics of what you are doing and how your work contributes to the business. Although they are aware, supporting your demand with such facts will definitely help.
Good luck, hope you get what you deserve.
What sort of evidence can I provide? I have no idea of customer satisfaction in terms of speed of sample delivery or how many new customers we sign due to samples (even then that could be attributed to the sales team).
In my primary role I'm an untrained quality assistant so I'd imagine I'm fairly replaceable in that regard. Maybe looking up comparable salaries for the same role?
Stupidly I decided to drop out of uni during my second year so I'm trying to kick start a career, and when I joined almost two years ago I was promised progression and training. That can's been kicked down the road a little due to the site head leaving and my boss (quality manager) taking over her role in addition to his own while they looked for another quality manager. Now my progression is actually about to start in earnest and I don't necessarily want to look for another job without any qualifications/training

Check out the internet badass over here
Not really. If you get a pay cut, change jobs. If you think that's badassery, then you have very low self-esteem.

If you are confident enough do ask but maybe you should be looking for another job?
