I’ve been browsing job boards, and the shift differentials for weekends are huge. The higher rate is tempting, but it makes me wonder why day shift pays so much less in comparison. Is the extra money worth the toll it takes on your life, or do you think the pay should be more balanced?

I feel like the pay is meant to compensate for the lifestyle tradeoff. Whether it’s worth it probably comes down to what you value more right now.

Personally, I think the extra money could be worth it, but it really depends on how much the toll on your life matters to you. It would be nice if the pay was more balanced, though!

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.
