It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.I got what I asked for.If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known. I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.Because this is crucially importantExcept for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action. It’s actually illegal for companies to forbid wage discussion, they’re just counting on you not knowing your rights.ImportantFuck. If you scrolled right past this - GO THE FUCK BACK UP - this is a huge PSA jfc I’ll be having some words with some folksPeople at HoAnns believe this garbage that we can’t talk about or wages, but that was how we found out about a gap in management wages, and a gap between people who were hired under the old SM and the new SM.Seriously guys, try salary.com. I just checked it myself, and now I’m actually pretty pissedI always volunteer my salary if anyone asks. And I have found it incredibly useful to know other people’s salaries, to know how badly I am getting fucked. Sites like Glassdoor can be useful for this if you’re outside the company though. -- source link
