Why are there so many posts about salary and bonus? Does it make you feel better if you make more or your firm's bonuses are higher?

No, I think it's very helpful to help us learn if we are getting paid fairly and not slaving to death with a lower than market average salary and bonus. This platform is actually perfect for that as we are all anonymous...

@OP non transparency of salaries is a tool that management uses to keep wages down - by having clear transparency by level and function - wage discrepancies are erased and therefore issues like wage gaps based on gender and race are eliminated.

It's good to know your market value but in reality it is not directly correlated to what others make. Unless you have an offer in hand, it won't help you to know that someone makes x% more than you.

@D3 - I'm Gen X. Transparency in salaries creates a sense of entitlement that millennials have grown accustomed. Just because someone else earns $X doesn't mean you deserve the same.

@A2 Are you suggesting we move towards communism? Everyone works and gets paid the same.

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?
