They want you to work in advance and for you to ask them later with thorough explanation for justifying a raise. They'll decide later (end of the year) performance review or salary review.

I applied for an extra role at work last year. They were reluctant to give it to me "because I hadn't already been doing it" (for free)...shows that I'm not keen. Why the hell would I have done this before when I had any time or resource for it? They didn't have any other applicants so they gave it to me anyway.....but WTF

Happened to me more often than I can count. Always the same outcome: I work my normal speed, work gets done insanely fast, employers denies raise and points at me doing thigs for free, I stop working as far as I can legally get away with, employer needs to hire more people for the job I did before, I sabotage as much as I can, then leave.

In very rare occasions I got a little bit of extra money out of it but mostly i just learned a lot and switched jobs. went self employed later and did away with that shit.

but the system is a pile of shit, no matter your skills.
