The VP of HR (male), who has worked at the same company for 40 years and reports to the CFO, leads a highly hierarchical department and once told me not to go above him. About 95% of our team expressed concerns (all females) to me about comments made by him, which leave employees feeling diminished and undervalued. When morale is affected at that scale, it becomes an organizational issue. Where do you raise concerns, and to whom, when the person responsible for HR is the source of them?

Yikes, that doesn't sound good at all. However, it sounds like many people have complained, and something needs to be done. I would go to the person that he reports to and express your concerns.

You can go above him to whomever he answers to. Just be aware that you'll be putting yourself at risk. And the person above him may be perfectly content with his bad behavior and won't care to change anything. If you want to try it, however, be sure you can document everything you bring forward.

That is serious. Document patterns, gather objective evidence, and consider formal escalation routes such as ethics lines or board level reporting. Gender based morale concerns require careful handling and protection for those speaking up.

Hi all. I am trying to determine if I am being compensated fairly. I am a tax manager (about to start my second year as manager) and have been with EY since staff 1. I was promoted to manager in June 2020 (during covid) and received a 7.5% raise. The class above me has mentioned they received much higher raises during their promotion years. My base salary is now approx. 97K. Any insights would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

Is it awkward to bring up the possibility of annual merit raise (usually done at end of year) with my boss now? It seems the job market is cooling a bit and I might lose some leverage if I wait longer to bring this up, in case the economy turns for the worse. But it being June now just makes timing a bit awkward and worried it might come off negatively/too self serving

I have been a PM at my company for 2 years now, with a years prior experience as associate PM. I got promoted before my certification, but was told if I did not get a PMP or ACP I would get my promotion taken away.
Received the ACP and have not seen a raise. Now we have a girl that is getting a 15k raise and going straight from Project coordinator to PM (with one year experience) and no certification. She will now be 5k less than me. If she gets CaPM she gets a 5k raise. Wong to feel slighted?
