Has anyone noticed salary compression in your company? A new junior copywriter is supposedly making the same as I am, and I've been in a Sr.copy role for almost a year now. It makes no sense that I shouldn't be retaliating when new hires earn almost the same as seasoned employees. How do you address this?

Definitely happening. Inflation and the talent shortage drove starting salaries up. The best move is transparent communication and performance-based renegotiation at review cycles.

thats crazy i would be talking to HR

Supposedly isn’t the same as guaranteed. Start looking around and see where your pay falls outside of the company, and then figure out where you need to be. New hires are consistently paid a lot better than tenured employees.

Interesting times. Salary bands are being adjusted to match up economics realities
