At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid. They gave me a number to shoot for. 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 important Except 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. Important Fuck. 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 folks I got a raise today and my boss made it super-clear it was “confidential” and I “couldn’t talk to anyone about it.” So of course, this post popped up just in time to remind me to tell you all that heavy resignations and discussion of unionization got my crew bumped to $13/hr (85 cents over state minimum) and managers to $15/hr.Unionize, learn your rights, and get your money, honey.Www.iww.org -- source link
