Does anyone else experience being overworked and underpaid?

I work anywhere between 38-40hrs a week (sometimes more) yet my paycheck does not reflect it. For a full time retail position, especially in a management role, it feels as though I’m being compensated as a part time employee.

Any tips or suggestions on how to pivot?

This is me, and it seems to always happen in retail. I would explain why you deserve a raise, and if they don't give it to you, find something else!

You can make the case that you deserve a raise. Point out that you've grown in your role and you're a more valuable employee now than you were when your pay was set. Or you could try to move up to a better job in the organization, or move to another company entirely. If you want to make a major pivot, leave retail and try to find a job doing some other form of sales.

When, employees demand more pay, it will change. Until people stop taking certain wages, things will remain the same.

I understand. I work 45-50 hours a week paid salary at 40 (and not like my weekly check is even big enough to survive on my own with food/rent/bills). Never does salary work in the employees favor where I get to work from home a couple weeks or work a 30 hour week. One week I worked 34 hours and still had to pay in 8 hours of sick time for being out one day that week. I’m also doing the job of multiple people because we don’t staff the correct amount of office personnel. I don’t even know how to keep stretching myself between states, tasks and constant retraining of everyone around me. I can relate to this so much!

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
