I work for a small company where there is about 24 people. The GM was hired in April of 2021 with a salary of 120,000. It’s the new year and we are about to do evaluations, we have employees that has worked with the company for over 10 years that makes no more than $15.00 an hour. She just got an increase her salary is now $160,000 a year. And now we have no money for raises. I feel like she still could have gotten an increase and give the staff an increase.

Wait....so, they allocated 100% of the available budget to ONE employee???

oh wow. I wonder what employee retention will look like in the new few moths/years

Not good I can tell you that. Although the employees are not aware of the increase they are unhappy about not getting one themselves.

I think you should get in front of this for next year. First develop a pay philosophy for your company? Let me know if you need a free template. I had to get in front of this throughout my career. We are HR Professionals we lead and advise the orgs we do not simply follow their plans. We advise on talent and develop strategies for the org to meet the overall company strategic plan goals.

Hello everyone, I will share it with you all on Wednesday when I am back at work. Thank you.

Yep!

Dealing with something similar! Except I can’t get my bosses to agree on raises for anyone unless they ask. I feel like I’m waiting for people to give us their 2 weeks notice. And I know if someone did, my bosses would immediately ask me how much $ they want to be able to stay. I wish you the best!

Be prepared for at least 50% turnover.

Question for those that are familiar with how severance pay works. I received a package a while back and was paid bi-weekly severance. The payments ended a few months ago but just the other day I had a severance deposit. Curious if it’s possible to get additional payment at this point or does this look like a mistake? I know the logical answer might be to just call but I’ll be honest in that I am still looking for a job and this would definitely help me. Thanks for your advice!
