I am the director of a department at work. I found out a few months ago that an employee that reports to me gets paid more than I do. How do I bring this up to my manager? I’m looking now to ask for a raise.

Personally I would not bring up your pay in relation to someone that works for you. I’d do research as to what is market value for what you do, and discuss what you bring to the table (especially if it’s above and beyond what you were hired to do). Clients you’ve brought in, money you’ve saved, huge projects you’ve taken on, money you’ve made the company, etc.

Hi recruiters! I am hoping a few people can share the salary range you’re seeing for a Director of Product Training position in a large software company.

I currently have 10% shares in a very small f&b group owns 2 restaurant outlets.

One of them have been hit with covid and we are suffering in sales. Our director somehow don’t believe in marketing and will not budge to allocate resources to hire a personnel. Our staff are underpaid so there are no incentives for them to go beyond their SOW.

What are some of the ways to drive more sales?
