I work for a small agency within a state agency. It has been the custom to pay the employees of the smaller group in a way that doesn't make sense. (Discussed in another post)
So a huge raise is coming to some of the other agency employees that would make those with just a diploma making more than those of us with Masters degrees. Everyone is pissed.
All of the support staff is getting a 2 or 3% raise while the untrained new officers get anywhere from 12-20+%.
So many of us complained. Some of us complained to our department, others called the governors office.
Our little agency in an agency was warned today to stop complaining outside the chain of command, or we would mess up the efforts being made to get us all the higher pay and make everyone fulltime.
Apparently our geographic division was the loudest. The boss agrees with us. Their boss agrees with us.
But apparently the head boss doesn't.
So my entire staff is on the verge of quitting. As soon as we find jobs we're gone.
So we complained and were basically told keep complaining and you won't get nothing. Like they are laying the roadway to blame the lowest paid for everyone else not getting anything.
I'm already over it. So over it.
