Two of my employees were severely underpaid for the amount of work. We absorbed another team’s work without additional compensation or headcount. I was told I’d receive an bump and I asked if we could bring up the two’s salary instead. It was “in consideration” and alas, no one got a bump due to freezes.
Thanks! This was March and would be “unfrozen” January 1. I left the following July!
I tried to this year. I was told I was getting a $10k raise, and I told HR and my manager that while I appreciated it and didn’t want to appear ungrateful, that $$ would be put to better use as a raise for my direct report. Turns out he was getting a raise too, 75% of what I was getting. I still wanted to give him mine too since he is still severely underpaid, but that’s not how things work. 🤷🏼♀️
No. This to me wouldn't show what I'd want to see, which is instead successfully making the case for that raise such that I can kick it up and make it happen.
