CEO salary decided by employees
Curious to hear what others have to think about this idea that's been on my mind today. There are a few methods for how this could go down, but overall the idea is that that the CEO/business owner's salary is defined by an average of what the other employees think they deserve. Do you think this is doable? By what means would you measure the amount? (Percentage, fixed amount, etc.)
What my older family members believe.
As the title clearly states, first of all I want to thank you all for inspiring me to play my final hand with my employer. I finish up in a week and a half, I have 60 hours of personal leave / sick leave left. I’ll be getting a doctors cert for the remainder of my time here until I finish my employment, and then take my 5 weeks of annual leave pay out after that. It means after 2.5 years of breaking myself for an essential retailer in a global pandemic, I’m taking everything I can with me when I leave. And I wouldn’t have felt comfortable doing this but this group has made me realise that my employers don’t care about me, and that most employers don’t care about any of us, and we need to get ours any way we can!
we deserve so much more
I’m a minimum wage employee at a hotel. It’s my day off and my assistant manager texts me and tells me our manager wants me to call them. I said okay, but I have no intention of calling on my day off. If I were a salaried employee I would feel compelled, alas. I am not. Am I wrong for this thinking? I suspect there will be some sort of reprimand.
No Family Leave is BULL****
America’s lack of family leave policies is bull. Neither my husband nor I get any family leave benefits from our jobs. We’ve been scrimping and scraping to save enough money for me to take 2 months off work and him 2 weeks. Just enough to pay our bills, nothing left over, and be able to have some bonding time with our son due in 3 weeks. We did our taxes this weekend. We owe 2k$. That’s 2/3 of the money we scrimped and scraped to save. We have no way to pay but to use that money we saved. My husband will not be able to take any time off now. And I will have to return to work three weeks after delivery. Why have we been putting up with this for so long?! I can’t stand that fact that I’m stuck living in this backwards hole of a country.…
I know that this idea would be almost completely impossible to carry out, and i don't know if this is aöready a thing/an idea that is common, if it would work, etc., but i just want some thoughts on this idea. What if there was an organization in America or any other country where, any adult can sign up for this organization, and it would be completely free to join and have no direct downside for the time being. The goal of the organization would be to achieve a membership of something around 50% of the population, so it would have to be massive and have widespread support, but let's assume it somehow gets this. The point would be to make a set of demands to the corporations in the area, such as, higher pay, no price raises as a result of it, certain workers rights things, etc. The only…
What do yall actually do for work?
So the title says most of it. I'm an electrician for a small business and recently a new project manager for new construction got hired. Well there are three divisions at this company New construction, Service/Remodel, and apartments. I joined at a really turbulent time for the company in which pretty much no “good” people were getting hired.(because the owner is stingy) Well I usually have apartments to go and fix up but last week was a bit different. Every single Division lead says that I'm a great worker and that they always try to request me. Then owner noticed this an decided to give me a major bump in responsibility and pay. When I don't have apartments I usually get sent to a service call or put on new construction but when I get apartments I can leave at my discretion. I called out on Tuesday last week and…
