The station I work at is down at least 15 positions. Some jobs have been open for two years.

The remaining staff is required to step up.

Additional positions are opening up as contracts are either broken or expire.

How are people able to keep their mental health up when their station isn’t hiring people they need and refuse to pay living wages to potential prospects or promote those remaining?

Btw, I have been applying for other locations. No luck. I often come in “second place” behind inside applications.

So saying “leave & go somewhere else” isn’t exactly a helpful statement.

If it's their fault then the most logical thing is that you should look for another place that really wants to progress, for that they must be willing to hire the right people and pay them accordingly.

The higher ups don’t see the reason to provide wage increases. They have admitted this often.

Any hire that asks for wages that reflect the cost of living in the area are turned down.

Ugh. I'm so sorry that you're going through this. I know this doesn't fix the wage problem, but does your company have a referral program for potential new hires? Maybe that would help fill some of the roles. Even so, I would keep applying to other roles on the side... something good will come your way!

We have several universities that refer their graduates to us often, however, when it comes to wages, the brass won’t budge which causes many people to walk away from interviews. It’s been very difficult recently.

Have you tried utilizing LinkedIn to apply for jobs & investigate job leads? There's a feature where you can update your profile to say "open to work." It only shows up for recruiters, so no one at your current company will see. I had some luck getting a few leads this way. Best of luck to you!!!

I use LinkedIn often. And I’ve applied for many jobs that way. Sadly I’ve not had much luck. It doesn’t help I’m in a dying position because many stations are condensing editing jobs into other jobs or keeping it to part time.

Hi everyone, I got an offer from Capgemini and the joining location is Pune but my preferred location is Noida. I saw on LinkedIn and other websites that Capgemini is hiring for the same role in NCR as well. Is it possible to get my location changed before joining? I really didn't think it through when I gave an interview for Pune location but my mom has been unwell from past few weeks and I want to stay where I can easily reach her whenever she needs me.

What do you guys think about apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace? I understand they might have real therapists working on their content, but a lot of the marketing I see is so vague and broad that it feels like a lie. Seems like "This app got rid of my anxiety with a 30-minute automated text questionnaire" is the new "This tea made me lose 20 pounds in two weeks!" Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!
