I had to leave my position in November after having a baby. He’s too young for child care and honestly I can’t afford it even with being paid a good wage. So I took a work from home position at my husband’s company. I went from $25 an hour to being paid $12.50.
I’m not being accommodated for my degree or years of experience. I presented my research to my manager and stated that I’m being underpaid by 29%. She refuses to negotiate my salary or offer a raise. I don’t earn enough to pay my bills. I’m completely stressed out.
I found a document on the serve with other people’s wages. It seems that it is definitely within the budget to pay me more as there are agent making $15-17 an hour. The only other agents earning my wage are kids in high school with no experience.
If I reach out to HR and something be done to increase my wage?
