I’m in HR; 75 employees. We have salary transparency in job ads. Over 50% make over $100k (up to $500k + bonuses for VP’s). Some paid $200k+ have advanced degrees, are specialized fields, and are hard to find and replace, Despite this, the 40% making $60-70k are resentful. We have $50M so money’s there to bring everyone up to $100k. We give 3% annual raises (not COLA) for all + salary based bonuses. HR & leaders don’t address inflation outpacing salary. Thoughts on how to prevent resentment?

I think there's only so much you can reasonably do. It's not realistic for everyone at every level to make six figures. Maybe encourage advancement and growth opportunities?

Those under $100k are not entry level. They have bachelor’s and some have master’s. Unfortunately, there’s no room for advancement for most. Appreciate your reply!

Interested to know what industry is that company working for. Seems doing pretty well with $50M for 75 employees

Inflation is 3% so the raises do keep up with inflation.
Pay will mostly be based on supply and demand.
Those earning less need to learn more valuable skills or leave the company if they want more.

But also employee satisfaction is about a lot more than just money. Culture, work life balance, etc all important

We only have one significant competitor in our industry, and it’s likely my best option. Love my company, been with them for years, but I’m really struggling with how frustrating this situation is.
