A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Employers demonstrated their infidelity to their staff by paying loyal workers, on average, 7% less than new hires — 20 years ago, salaries were largely the same between new and longtime employees.

Wow, its almost like companies have taken away all the incentives to work!

So that's why no one wants to work anymore!

Nah can't be the company's fault, could only be due to lazy workers now /s

I dong get it. We bought them a pizza just like 12 million dollar consultant suggested. They are supposed to make the green line go up now.

What is a totally reasonable demand. Ask a CEO if he would do his work if he would get paid peanuts.

Assuming the CEO does any real "work"

The career growth is really amazing. I work at a unionized place that is required to fill positions internally before outside hires. When a senior employee retires from a top level position it will be filled by someone at the company. Typically someone in a mid level position. Then there's a chain effect where now that mid level position is open that will go to entry level workers. The only outside hires tend to be for entry level jobs.

It's great because when you talk to the senior staff, almost all of them started at the bottom and worked their way up. This gives them better knowledge of how the whole operation works since they've done the jobs below them, and also a little empathy!
