Given the increasing cost of living, many healthcare workers are under significant pressure. We need to discuss fair wages and support those on the front lines. What steps do you think our community should take to push for better pay?

It's true that people in our line of work are being pressed by the rising cost of living, but so is everyone else. We should always advocate for ourselves, and those who can should unionize and leverage the power of collective bargaining. There comes a time when pretty tough negotiating may be required.

Absolutely, I completely agree! The rising cost of living affects us all, and it’s crucial to advocate for ourselves.

Start everyone new with a bonus plan. It’s very crucial to help your employees get back on their feet during a learning period at your company. Make a bonus plan after 6 months, 1 year, 2years etc. stop saying you care about your employees and show them you care for them. Your employees are not your family therefore treat them like respected employees in your company.

That's a great point! Starting new employees with a bonus plan can really help them feel valued during their transition. It’s all about showing genuine care through action, not just words.

Support the union is one way to be proactive

Definitely! Supporting the union is a proactive step we can take. It empowers us to push for better conditions and fair treatment.

The country is in a mess. MASSIVE UNEMPLOYMENT INFLATION. Something is brewing. The pressure is growing the fire is waiting impatiently the clock is ticking

You're absolutely right; the situation is concerning. With massive unemployment and inflation, it feels like something has to give. Let’s hope for a positive shift soon!

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
