Maybe the recession has already here, dunno, BUT not the point. This may be super obvious to folks but management can’t wait for shit to get really bad so they can start offering lower wages. A comment I keep hearing during staff meetings is that we’ve had to go through multiple rounds of hiring bc folks are leaving for higher paying jobs. Several people declined the position of administrative assistant as they’re getting offers of 80k-100k. A director literally said he is looking forward to people getting desperate so they can lowball them once again.
Oh, and please keep talking about wages with colleagues – its pissing off leadership so much and there’s not a damn thing they can do!
