So I work in a security monitoring / call center of sorts. My employers contract was terminated and a new security company took over, and is hiring new hires to the team at $27.50 while experienced operators are making $25 as the base wage (max $28 for people with years of tenure), while stringing us along with the “idea” of getting raises eventually, maybe.. some day. Morale has plummeted and many have quit for greener pastures. How can a company be this stupid? They've successfully turned the existing team against them in an incredibly short amount of time. What possible scenario could this actually work in their favor? Why not just raise everyone's wages at the same time? Myself and my coworkers are gobsmacked.
