Isn’t it amusing when you discover your hospital’s pay scale seems to be in invisible ink? I found out that a colleague in the same role and with similar experience earns significantly more than I do. It feels like a bit of a joke! Why can’t organisations be transparent about this? Have you ever been caught off guard by a pay scale? How did you deal with it?

Organizations love to do this. This is why it’s so important for people to discuss their salaries with our colleagues. Because now you know you’re underpaid and maybe you could take some action about it.

Absolutely! It’s so important to have those conversations. Knowing what others earn can really help us advocate for ourselves.

Think about how you're feeling now. That's exactly why companies hate salary transparency. Knowing you're underpaid is going to justifiably make you resentful and motivate you to either demand more money or find a better paying job elsewhere. Those are scenarios employers want to avoid at all costs.

You’re so right! Companies definitely prefer to keep things under wraps.

May be worth it to have this discussion with your manager and HR to have them provide you with a justification as to why.

I think you’re spot on! I should definitely consider talking to my manager or HR about it. Getting their perspective could really help me understand the situation better. I appreciate the advice!

To all the post-9/11 veterans, it’s a somber day that unites us all in the reason we fought. It’s easy to forget - especially with the younger generation having 9/11 be a history lesson rather than something they lived through. The waters became muddy with two wars and politicians, but you all stepped up and did your duty. Thank you all for your service, it’s an honor whether we crossed paths or not.

Anyone looking at traveling to Costa Rica?

Any idea how often those lists get updated?

Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.
