Resurrecting this thread, at least for one post....

Starting in July, I've taken over all production scheduling.  We're a medium sized shop of less than 30 people.  But,  it's a lot of work keeping up with the schedule on top of all my prepress and non-prepress duties.

My question is, are many of you doing the scheduling?  Or who in the shop is doing the scheduling? 

What I'm really getting at is how much of a raise would y'all expect(hope/want may be a better words for it) from taking on the scheduling for your shop?

I do all of the prepress scheduling, but the production scheduling for presses, die cutters and gluers is done by a full time scheduler at our production facility, which is a separate building from prepress.

The guy that does the scheduling here drinks monsters like they are water. Has the attention span of a ferret on a double expresso and the memory of a goldfish.

Goes about as well as you'd expect.

Hey, soon McDonalds fry guys will be making $15 an hour. It might be a little pay cut but dropping a basket and waiting for a timer can't be as bad as prepress.

In prepress I do the normal, set  jobs for print, make plates, maintain our ctp, print digital (Xerox Versant 2100), maintain our digital unit or deal with service, maintain/print on our Epson 9900, do design work, sometimes bindery, every now and then I will even load paper for the press. I also maintain and keep all the network and tech in the building going and updated when needed. I do deliveries now and then as well. It is all a nice change and we are never busy enough that I could keep going through the entire day just doing the standard pre press work.

Yup, sounds like the same deal I have, just add in fixing motorcycles, cars and trucks. All while getting into arguments with the boss because he knows more because he fixed one truck.

I was a professional mechanic and presently crew chief of a spec 96 cup car. What the hell do I know about cars.  ???

Pay cut heck. That would be a big raise for me. I wouldn't have to cut my hours for fear of losing welfare, either.

I would ask for a raise, more responsibility, more stress, more money!!

well you gotta ask!
even if you get turned down, at least you told them your worth more.

Whatever you do...ask for twice the amount that you really want. Then maybe you will get half of what you wanted.

Agreed. You took on more responsibility so you deserve more compensation.

Deserve and receive are 2 different things. Too bad you don't have a huge bribing lobbying group behind you or you'd be making $15/hr for pushing buttons with the pictures of food on it and refusing to give extra ketchup packets.

And Joe's idea is brilliant. At least you might end up with a little trifle of a raise.
