I have a meeting with HR on Monday about wage compression at our organization. I know what it is. My wage compression score is 9% or .95. The thing is I don't know much more than that. I want to know how that compares to other employers. I've been in my organization for 10 years and I have 15 years of experience. I'm hoping somebody has some Human Resources and compensation experience to help walk me through better understanding these numbers.
This is my first post so please bear with me. I have been with this company for almost a year now and I think I need something new. When I come in to start the day I'll come in 5 minutes early that's just how I am I don't like coming in at 10 or 15 minutes early. He just always has a comment about it like I'm here not late, get over it. I just don't see 5 minutes early being an issue. He basically never sleeps and gets to work @ 3am to then be a crabass because he didn't get any sleep. The next thing is he always says to me and my other co-workers we are (the company's name) bitches. This just doesn't rub me the right way and I know it's not a joke. I talk to my wife about it and she says with…

You all know exactly why I'm bringing this up, and I want to know what to do so that this doesn't become another Fox News. Bloomberg doesn't seem like a malicious source and I have no doubts whatsoever about my personability or rhetoric, but if I were to take this I need everyone's help, your coaching. What are the pluses and downsides of this opportunity? Do the cons outweigh the pros? I feel very inclined to accept, as I have become very passionate about this group; this MOVEMENT, yet this is one of the most nerve-wracking things I've ever been presented with and I'd rather not do it at all than screw up in a way that would defame us. Please be civil, and no disrespect to the prior interviewee please. One love.
mini rant: im tired, i hate that I have to work and slave away to have basic necessities. I graduated from college in the first year of the pandemic and have not been able to find a decent job. I’ve been doing temporary jobs in my field but its so underpaid. I had to move back with my parents because rent is so so so bad in my area. I hate it here, I truly do. I deserve a space of my own and it’s been so hard to even attain such a simple thing. I’m on the hunt for yet another job but I haven’t been scored an initial interview. All the jobs in my field are so underpaid and everything seems so bleak. Being a first generation graduate, I feel even more anger because I have no connections and my parents dont know nothing about all this. Anyways…
I work for an auto parts store, which is hard been female bc some people do not want to deal with a woman 🤯 when it comes to there cars. I've been there a year. We can not keep help we're supposed to have 13 people at the location I'm at, we have 6. We got a new GM in October & he told me he would promote me to manager after her was settled in. Well in December he hired a guy & January 31st during an employee meeting he told us all he has decided to promote the guy he hired in December. He never talked it over with his assistant GM or other managers, which pssed them off. I was pssed (I have 8yrs experience as a GM of a restaurant more experience in management than the new guy). Since I have started working for this company…
Took a job as a breakfast cook in an upscale restaurant a while back. Early mornings, lots of Eggs Benedict, douchey chefs and snotty costumers. Pretty standard restaurant awfulness. On my first day I became aware that the two other cooks on the line were part of a prison work program where they would work six days a week at the restaurant and would have to report back to their housing complex about four blocks away immediately after their shift ended. It turns out that about a third of the staff at the restaurant and much of the hotel staff are there through this program making pennies on the dollar. It turns out this is a fairly common practice in several states. At face value I would say this is obvious and egregious exploitation, and as such I didn't work there long. While I was there, not a single inmate/worker…
My job is security detail for luxury retail, I wont say what company but they are known for leather goods. I have a diploma, many security certifications and medical training, driving executive protection and firearms qualifications and my entire team would say Im overqualified for the job. I make roughly 1500 USD a week gross, the government steals about 500 of this. and inflation and cost of supporting my self eats up the rest. My duties are, protect assets and sometimes very important clients, count merchandise, apprehend thieves, listen to exceptionally annoying rich people blab their silicon injected flaps while they spend my yearly salary on a bag and fuzzy keychain everyday. oh and escort the custodians to dump all of our leather and merchandise if it isn’t used by the time a new line of merchandise is launched. oh yes ma’am your 5 thousand dollar purse is splendid, they…
