I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve noticed people in similar roles earning vastly different salaries across companies. One of my friends works in IT as an admin and makes great money, while another with the same title in retail earns just above minimum wage. I guess it depends on the industry and its revenue, but it still feels insane.

What do you think causes such big pay gaps for the same positions?

It is really strange. I'm a manager and I make $21 an hour, but I have a friend who is a manager in automotive sales and he makes probably triple what I make. It almost makes me wonder why they even give us the same title!

It’s definitely the industry, which I feel like the job titles should dictate the pay not the industry

Are they all living in the same area? Cost of living can be a big factor when it comes to salaries.

I think it depends on a lot of things. Yes the industry matters, but it also matters from organization to organization. I think bigger organizations pay better than smaller ones and then there’s the experience level other things.

It definitely depends on the location you are working and the industry that you are in. I always thought it was so interesting that in certain work fields.. some people can make way more money that you and have the same type of position.

Corporate/owner greed, or small businesses not having tons of cash at startup.

Is there a way to identify duplicate URLs within labeled hyperlinks on multiple columns/rows/cells?

I was thinking conditional format, but it’s identifying duplicate labels. I have over 80,000 cells, so extracting URLs manually isn’t going to work for me.

I’ve been working for a small investment firm for about a year and am having some issues with my boss. We have a weekly check-in but he’s ALWAYS 2-3 hours late, or skips the meeting altogether without warning. He also never replies to any of the emails I send. I already spoke with him about these issues, but things haven’t really changed. I really like the work I do but I’m starting to feel frustrated about the situation. Any advice? Or anyone else in a similar situation?

I figure if anyone can understand this, it’s you all. I feel like I’m losing my damn mind. I have always loved communications, and I’m really good at it. But lately I’m so tired of politics and toxicity that I it’s sent me into a depression tailspin, on top of a pretty severe mid-life crisis. Two and a half weeks ago, I quit my job with nothing lined up. Not the smartest thing I’ve ever done, but I kind of feel like self-preservation was at work here. I want to do work that makes a difference. ☹️
