My employer does 2% increases and they actually believe it’s sufficient enough to live off of. It’s literally a few cents more and it’s actually pretty annoying. They changed my job title and responsibilities 3 times and I’ve been here a year and only have me a 4% increase
My job changed my title instead of promoting me bc they claimed I was doing the same thing within that role anyway. Gave me a 5% merit raise then a year later lay me off. These places are jokes. Vow to never be in that predicament again.
Anything below inflation rate is not a "salary increase" nor an "adjustment to cost of living". Seems like very simple math to me. You are right, this is one of the main reasons pushing people to job-hopping.
I got a 3% pay raise and was told congrats. What does one say to that? The job is already underpaying which was acknowledged by leadership. To add our team is understaffed and absorbing the workloads of the vacant positions. While I am told that I am appreciated, the ultimate appreciation is with the dollars on payday Friday. Seems companies do not care about their employees financial health. Sad.
Great to see you back!!! Excited for your content! Looking to transition to regulatory affairs from my current validation position in a pharmaceutical company in OC.
How do you blame people for job hopping? Should be mandatory in the US for a pay raise. Or pension CASE CLOSED. What if we based wages off of age Reach a certain age your salary goes up to a certain level. Productivity still gets promoted but you cant stall wages. Everyone goes up. And the old saying that this promotes laziness is a joke. If everyone goes up WHO CARES.. It's all about the Benjamin's in the end.
I wouldnt not say you are a sucker at all especially in this economy. Its better to have a job than not. If anything I would say you should keep your options open and look for a role that will pay you what you feel you are worth. Leave when you have something lined up
“Hey great work this year but you DO NOT qualify for our 3% merit increase.” “Here’s a $600 bonus in your check for COLA!” “Please clap for us on the Best Places to Work survey when it hits your inbox.” Grrrrrrrrrr😤
I’m working night shift and I don’t feel that my company accommodates night shift enough. Yes, we have less work in the hospital but the shift is mentally, physically, and socially demanding.
