Hired as HR Manager at manufacturing company. I worked the floor as an operator and then QC for 3 months total before getting to do my actual job. Now, I am acting as a production supervisor, HR Manager, and I am responsible for all of the operator training. My company is small; we don't pay a lot. Ops are struggling to meet ends meet and CEO thinks their "lack of training" is what is producing poor work. For me, it's the fact that they bring home 30k in an area where the average is 72k.

Just feels like instead of addressing the actual issues (which would cost the company money), they'd rather just make me do everything and blame the operators' lack of care on minimal training when they all have 2-3 jobs and are still barely getting by.

Are you involved in HR strategy and decision making? I’d try to understand the EBITDA and P&L’s - this should tell you where the money leaks are.

People only tolerate being underpaid because they’re comfortable or don’t have ambitions for more - which is fine. But being paid below market is not something I’d tolerate long term.

I think if you can build a business case as to why this isn’t the case, you can dismantle the CEOs narrative. See if you can have AI build a tracker the ops team can update daily and you have a dashboard view of it. This can be used to communicate with the CEO and frame WHY his assumptions aren’t actually what’s happening.

I have seen small companies stretch people like this and it burns them out. It sounds like you are carrying multiple jobs. I would be thinking carefully about sustainability.

I will go with this.

I was told to apply to a hospital job by someone interested in interviewing me. The recruiter reached out. Asked for my availability but then didn’t respond when I gave her my availability. I followed up. We scheduled a phone call (she said she’d call) and then she didn’t call! At this point, I’m thinking they’re totally disorganized. Is this common practice? I’ve never dealt with a recruiter so I don’t know.

General Question I started tuition reimbursement last year in August. I since have an interview with another job that is paying a lot more. You know how you apply to something not really thinking that job would call back? Should I get an offer, what do I do about tuition Reimbursement? Do they send a check and tell me to pay it? Do they take it out of my 401k? I know a lot of people will say I never shouldve applied but I didn't think too much about actually get a call back when I applied.
