That... Could very well be why that person isn't there anymore.

That's why they fired him.

That's one of the reason I like being a public servant.

The pay scale is public information.

Lemmy pretending domain knowledge is not a thing.

I really love living somewhere where unions have a strong influence and collective bargaining is the norm

'Murica is a fucking joke.

Normalize discussing compensation. Silence encourages exploitation.

When I quit my job as Graphic Department Manager, I told the woman I had hired and trained, and my likely replacement how much I was paid as I left the building.

Give 42% less effort

that's the reason why you're in his place

I was working a new role at a brand new site for a company. Working really hard, putting in a lot of effort, really trying to prove myself. I had 5 years of experience in the role, and wanted to move up in the company. Then my supervisor got one of her friends hired in the same role as me, he had zero experience, never done this before.... and they were paying him $10k per year more than me.

I decided right then and there, I was never, ever, going to give a shit about work there again. I got a pay raise to match what he was making, but it took like a year, and my yearly raises since then have been far under inflation. I do not give a shit. I wormed my way like a parasite into the easiest position there, doing as little as possible, entirely remotely. and I still feel like a give too much of a shit. If the job wasn't so easy, and the job market so horrible, I'd probably have left by now but, eh. I'm making more than most, while doing almost nothing. I can't really complain.

but oh boy was I fucking pissed.

Now you know how many raises you can get before they fire you for being too old and costing too much. AKA "a career"

And he quit

And the people that got hired after me for some reasoj

Capitalism! isn't it grand! LMBO

What if he was 42% better?
