everyday i grow more upset and guilty. i used to really like my job, i still love my daily job duties. but the more time i spend with the company, the more i am exposed to how insultingly little we pay the majority of our staff (staff with degrees, in high COL cities, with bad work flexibility). the raises are despicably low too.
the ceo is a multi billionaire. it angers me. this is not a small company in a small industry – it is corporate greed. i basically contribute to the employment of people who cant afford daily needs. I DO NOT AGREE WITH IT!!! MY COMPANY NEEDS TO PAY MORE! i had close friendships with people in the inner circle, i know more about the unfairness and gaps than i should. it weighs on me heavy knowing i’ll likely never be able to bring these things to light.
i worry being entry level in hr field that id be fired for expressing my real feelings. who does hr go to when they need hr? regardless, my voice would not change things. i don’t know what to do, its not feasible for me to change jobs for atleast another year for personal reasons. i do not want this to be our future, it is unfair. in a world where they preach equality to us, they turn a blind eye to pay inequality while people are regularly priced out of homes, healthcare, and becoming parents so one man can grow richer. i feel so much anger and sadness.
