Sure. As long as my increased stress and workload will be just as dry.
These corporate retards get paid to sit around all day and come up with the most ridiculous and bizarre policies and procedures. Glad I am out of the work force.
More vacation days but you can't take them if it means you'll be out of the office?
The privilege of being called an independent contractor so you don't get benefits?
Being promoted to a salaried position so you make a fixed rate of pay no matter how many hours you work?
What a load of poop.
I remember guys being on-call during their vacation in the early 1990s. Managers pulled that BS because they felt they could due to the crappy job market.
Expect to see more of these kinds of "promotions" as the economy continues to soften, interest rates continue to rise, and we enter a recession.
I love this quote: "Despite not receiving a salary bump, some experts encourage employees to be proud of receiving recognition at work for a job well done."
A job well done? I guess not well enough to pay more.
I wonder how much Fox Business was paid to print this garbage?
Early in my career, one of the tricks companies used to like to play on inexperienced hires was to make them responsible for another persons work -- effectively making them a manager -- but provide no pay raise or promotion into management. Like a manager, their pay was dependent on how their team performed, but since they were not managers they were not eligible for the management bonus if the team performed well.
It's the same mentality that would ask people to reelect Biden, regardless of how the nation has dramatically declined during his presidency. Just accept it as the 'new norm' and live with it. Besides, it's probably racist to want a growing economy.
Almost every mid to high level executive, tech lead, team lead, etc worked countless unpaid overtime hours, accepted tons of additional responsibility and accountability without additional salary, and di so all in an effort to run the rat race faster than their competition...in order to move up the ladder.
It used to be you proved your worth and then got rewarded for it, and now people seem to think you should get rewarded up front and then you'll be sufficiently motivated to do whatever the job description of the new position and salary is, and the employer needs to gamble that you'll actually do that with no real idea of whether you can or will actually pull off that new level of work/salary/responsibility.
nothing new here. You can get a promotion to a higher level and if it is in the same market data, there is no salary increase.
From assistant to associate, same market data, no raise. Other than annual merit increase.
