so, I'm the boss for the next couple of weeks
completely forgot I agreed to do it.
gotta be on-call for the duration - what the hell, maaaan?!1
here's the thing - no money has been discussed.
clarification - I should be getting an enhanced rate for the next two weeks?
clarification II - I don't care whether they think its vulgar or 'what about career progression'

so yeah
more responsibilities = more cash.
agreed

Might be difficult to retroactively agree a pay increase
Ideally you should have agreed this upfront. That said if you do a decent job they might give you a suitable fiscal reward so you're not discouraged if the need arises again.

Skillllllz maaaaaan. DOUGH BEFORE DO. That's the rule.
Best next effort at cash extraction is to do it amazingly for a week then speak to a superior and say- i'm enjoying this but it strikes me that it takes so much more out of me than my normal role. Had i known this before i'd have asked for a pay increase, and in fact, I'm asking for one now.
next best I mean
I am DEFINITELY still hammeref.
was listening to some be-bop in one ear during the conversation
and therefore, not concertrating
Without meaning to sound overly harsh
This is your own fault, really. It's not an employer's job to offer you more money, and they'd have been a bit daft if they'd done so completely unsolicited. As PO says, do it for a week then have a frank conversation about more money.
good advice
noted
I don't know that I agree or maybe our management styles are vastly different
I would never dream of asking somebody to take on extra responsibilities without spellig ot to them what that means for them (even if it might mean no pay rise- you'd still let them know what it involves and the fact taht some of the benefeit is that intangible thing- a foot on the next rung of the ladder, a chance to learn etc. and if it does justify a pay rise and there id budget, it's good management to offer this to your member of staff rather than make them come ot you. depends a lot on your line of work I guess and lawyers are paid hagglers but you can't assume that every member of staff is willing or able to make this request and I think it's a bit unfair to put them in that position.
maybe not vastly, but slightly sounds better,
I am a bit drunk., i didn't drink that much ast night but since quitting weekight boozing i'm a total lightweight.
without spellig ot to them
I can see your point
But I'd be more likely not to mention the recompense/new opportunities unless asked, because if you do there's a chance it's all the other person will hear and their eyes will have turned to pound signs before they've considered whether or not they're actually capable of taking on the extra responsibility.
Stop listening to that shit for a start man
Nobody wants to see you swaying (actually, thousands probably do).

the *would you knob your boss to get a promotion* question is about to get
a whole lot less hypothetical to a certain unlucky group of people in the next fortnight
my manager asked me if i want to do 'winter cover'.
me - what's that?
him - oh, it's nothing much, really, but you get about a thousand pounds a year for it... [followed by some shit about phone calls, but i wasn't listening cos a) it was a half-conversation over the photocopier, rather than a proper proposal, and b) he caught me whilst i was in the middle of mulling over that evening's bike ride]
me - aye, i'll think about it.
that was a week ago. he basically wants me to be on call, right? fuck being on call, though. fuck that sideways.
I was technically on call 24/7 in one of my previous jobs
as part of the emergency IT cover.
Thankfully this was only used once in the entire year that I worked there.
