Do you think companies rely on employees not talking about salaries and would more transparency actually change how people value their jobs?

Absolutely they do. I got in trouble at my last company for sharing my salary with a coworker. They don't want us talking because then we would realize how underpaid we are.

What company are you referring to sorry im new to yhis

Honestly thankful I don’t work for a company like this

There is a lot of information out there already about salary. More transparency isn’t a bad thing, I just don’t see a lot. There’s just usually a lot more behind the numbers, and that’s not what gets talked about.

Yes, they completely do. If it weren’t for me finding out how much my coworker made, I wouldn’t have had nearly as much leverage when asking for a raise

Hey fellow Disney Lovers,

I generally have a few lessons in which I can use Pixar shorts to teach students how to identify and discuss literary signposts, how to identify and explain the development of theme, character traits, and other narrative elements. What are some of your favorite shorts? I am trying to incorporate activities where my students get to choose their own clips for independent practice with these skills and need a variety to draw from.

If you’re that chill consultant, thank you for keeping all of us sane. #plzdontquitbeforeme

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
