Is anyone else feeling underpaid? I am working non-stop and my team is constantly asking for more of my time. If I complain to management, the response is needing to improve on time management. How does one improve on time management when there just isn’t enough time in a day!

100% accurate. I understand the need to hire less and add more to current employees plates. However, those employees should be compensated.

I think that's just part of modern life. We have all these devices to help us save time, but it doesn't matter, every minute is just jam packed with things to do. Time management isn't really the answer if the tasks just fill all the time in the day.

I've been with my current company for over three years.

Before I had joined the company, my understanding is that they were looking for a second admin to help my predecessor (who retired) with the volume of work; they had a couple of different people fill the role, but they never worked out.

Three years later, we are so much busier. In March, we hired a second admin to help me. She left in November (we were working toward letting her go); she was repeatedly making the same mistakes, missing detail, ignoring policies and struggling with straightforward concepts.

During those eight months, I was the person tasked with training her and the other new hire. I was already swamped and behind on work and the interim help we were promised to help keep up with the day-to-day never materialized. Big surprise. So I just kept getting more behind.

So, already struggling, behind on work and now trying to keep up while also training AND doublechecking all of their work etc.

I've worked countless hours of unpaid overtime just to try to get a little bit ahead.

Among other things, last week I got called into a meeting with HR to review the PiP they want to put me on. Yup. Because I'm behind on my work. They have exactly zero understanding of exactly what I do, the volume, the detail that is involved etc.

The PiP reads as though it was written by a 12 year old; it doesn't contain any of the details that it requires. I refused to sign it.

It is all far from over.

The frustration is real.

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
