Step 1.) Find a new job that pays better, has better benefits, and better advancement opportunities. Once you have an offer go to step #2.
Step 2.) After completing step #1 clean out most of your personal items from your office, and then bring this up with your boss. Don’t beat around the bush either. Tell them you either get promoted and significantly increased pay based on your documented superior performance or you are pursuing a better opportunity elsewhere effective immediately.
Step 3.) Act upon your demands. If they tell you: “no”, or “we’ll see what we can do” call your new employer ask when you can start and get ready for a new job. Take the rest of your vacation at the old job and walk out that day. Stop answering their phone calls, emails, or texts at that point. Particularly if they need your knowledge for the projects you were working on. Screw them.
If they say yes, prepare to move into your new and improved office.
Either way bask in the sweet smell of victory.
