I'm in the construction industry & am in a supervisory role. I'm salaried and the only woman on site. My boss is skimming my wages, the math just ain't mathing, and he has yet to provide me with the medical/dental/ vision benefits called out in my contract. I am purposely getting ignored, have a paper/email trail going back months. I'm about ready to call the DOL and lawyer up at this point. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Sorry you are going through that. I’m not sure what else you can do when you’ve done all you can to address the situation. Hopefully, the boss comes to their senses, but very smart of you to keep the paper trail because it’s not sounding good.

I would talk to a lawyer before you talk to anyone else. They will give you the best advice about how to handle what's going on.

I assume there's someone above your boss you can contact. At the least, you can contact the company's HR department and get the benefits package straightened out. If this has been going on for a while it sounds like it's just not a legit company. So you may wind up having to get a lawyer, and, of course, a new job.

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

What is a Senior Manager Medical Affairs Clinical dev - Healthcare Innovation Technology (HIT) for radiology imaging - salary?????

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low). Negotiations happened with HR, but my offer letter and documents never mention junior (but I have proof from HR saying I am a junior). How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
