I'm mostly venting because just is just typical. So I drunk posted a few days ago because I was upset with my employers hiring practices. They have no system and hire people for the same jobs at all kinds of different pay rates. Its not based on experience obviously, just whoever is hiring at the time, and how much they like you. My department was supposed to be getting a small raise and management went around to get us to sign a pay change form. I was the only who didn't sign because I wanted to know if any of this would be retro because I already dealt with the same issue right after I got hired. I knew someone with less experience came in at a higher rate and basically wanted to know if are pay would be backdated to account for the discrepancy.
Well this obviously became a big thing, and now they don't want to pay anyone their raises. Even though there is a huge discrepancy with everyone's current pay.
I know we are an “at will” employment but this is spiteful and shady shit. This is a huge company with lots of money and apparently management was ignorant about our rights to discuss pay freely. So I at least educated them on that. I have no doubt now I will be a target.
