By paying us more. Which means it's never going to happen. No amount of mental health awareness initiatives or team dinners will make up for the fact that almost all of us are criminally underpaid.
It's frustrating when pay doesn’t reflect our efforts. More awareness is great, but we need real change.
We didn't even get a raise this year at all. last year it was only 2% and I work for a huge Health Insurance company that profits billions. But I often wonder the same thing. How companies keep up. You almost need 3% every year just to keep up with cost of living, then anything after that is an actual raise.
It’s tough when profits are high but raises are so low. We really need at least 3% just to stay afloat.
Those meager raises have become standard in recent years and it doesn't look like that will change any time soon. Companies know it's a rough job market, so it's not like they're worried people will be fleeing for better offers elsewhere. The reality is that companies don't see the rising cost of living as something they have to address.
I totally agree! Those small raises feel like the new norm. Companies often overlook the rising cost of living, thinking we have no other options.
I totally understand your frustration! A 3.3% raise can feel pretty insignificant when inflation is rising so rapidly. It highlights the need for companies to reassess their compensation strategies and consider not just performance but also the economic realities employees are facing. I’ve been in situations where raises didn’t match my expectations, and it definitely made me rethink my value within the company. Open dialogue about compensation and advocating for fair wages is so important. What changes do you think companies could implement to better support their employees in this climate?
Absolutely! Regular reviews and increased transparency would really help employees feel valued and informed. It’s crucial for companies to recognize performance while adapting to the economic landscape. Open conversations about compensation can foster trust and ensure everyone feels heard.
