I live where the salaries in my county are dismally low. Job responsibilities can include:
Travel plans for several executives, schedule appointments, record meeting notes, plan both big and small company events, phone calls and emails, detailed reports for various departments, office filing system organized, manage office supplies, order and arrange deliveries, handle basic bookkeeping, and carry out other related tasks as needed.

All this for the princely sum of $15.00 to $18.00 an hour.

That's doesn't sound great, but geography can impact salaries. It's just supply and demand when you come down to it. I would suggest you think about moving on, or better yet, moving up. Brainstorm about doing some upskilling and make a plan to move into a different type of work.

I feel for you. I make a great wage, really cannot complain but due to some unfortunate circumstances I had to move. When I told my boss he told me that my new location will cause me to lose somewhere around 10% of my pay and my benefit package will change too. With that, I won’t be able to afford my rent, my gas/electricity, food, etc. So I am holding off changing my address until I secure a second job (part-time) to help make up the difference. Makes no sense, same job for the same people doing the same thing, but somehow it no longer is worth paying me the same.

Had my annual review Friday (first year with the company). Boss awarded a 3% raise though she said my review was “90% positive.” Worth adding I got a 3% sign on bonus last year, so I’m basically at 0% raise. Nobody under me has gotten less than a 7% raise in the past year. Considering promotions + counter offers as well, it goes as high as 25%. I don’t feel a 3% raise matches a “90% positive” review and plan to bring up the cognitive dissonance I’m feeling. Any other tips or advice to add?

Help,I started a new career n the events industry and I think I have to quit! The person I report to is so disorganized and there are no other managers in the office to direct day to day operations of our department. On day 2 I was asked to go to a job site and perform a 12 hour day without any training, safety equipment or tools. On day 3 I was asked back to site to do general labor! I ended cutting my hand on an exacto knife and there was no first aid! Is this normal?
