Someone on my team left, got hired somewhere else, and came back months later making significantly more than when they left. Same kind of role, same local market, just a different employer. It honestly made staying put feel like the expensive choice. Has anyone seen that happen a lot lately in healthcare?

This happens more often than you think. Also the longer you stay with a company the less you make and the new hires will always come in making more than you. For example I went from being an MA and making 21.50 hr to being a supervisor making 23 hr and then 6 months after I became a supervisor the MAs got a pay raise to 25.50 making 2.50 more than me. When I would hire new MAs they were making 27hr and the ones that were there for years only making 25.50

It happens all the time. Companies chronically underpay, then act shocked when they struggle with retention. It's laughable.

I think that happens in a lot of different industries, but healthcare is one of the worst. A lot of companies boast big salaries but very minuscule raises and bonuses.

Boomerang hires are a big trend across industries right now. ADP data shows they made up like 35% of all new hires in early 2025, which is way up from previous years and healthcare isn't immune from this sort of thing.

Hi, anyone here that can give me a hint about compensation for VP at Capgemini Invent in Europe?

I’m contracting with a company in an admin role, but sometimes I’m asked to do projects that would normally be outsourced to a marketing or design company like designing a flyer for example. It’s not in my job description, but I have the skills to do this work and so why not ask me to do it? Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?
