[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I struggled reading OP last post. Proofread damn. I wouldn’t pay you a dime due to your writing skills gesh.[/quote] +1. OP's writing is terrible but distinctly recognizable as the person that posts about having three kids in college and a wife that refuses to work.[/quote] So folks don’t think salary should not match skills required and work responsibilities. I applied a job when I had my prior job as was same level. I knew stuff was coming and wanted to get ahead. This is back in 2019. I got offered a 180k pay cut for same exact job. I met a nice women at an event a few months earlier who does same work I did and politely declined but offered up this women who was very happy to have it. I am a hard worker who will run through brick walls and work 24/7 if paid. At this point any job will do. But at low pay in particular govt jobs why does supervisor and boss get paid so little? I want to be super motivated. But if I am underpaid and all my staff is underpaid and salaries so low I can’t hire good people or fire poor performers it is like Dante’s inferno I mean let’s take a job like Head of HR. Can do any company. Amazon, Citi group, Microsoft, capital one at around 500k to 800k. But non profits will pay 150-175k. I mean unemployed folks will take it or folks at end of career but the good ones keep job hunting. And how do you motivated people at top who had a great job and now took a huge pay cut. I did math and take home is same I made in 2006. That is wiping out 15 years of raises No more new cars, vacations, kids taking out college loans, is ok starting out I did it 20 years at start. But do you really want folks taking low paid jobs in key positions. Will they do they’re best? I wish I could do this type job as a board member or part time. I supervised Union folk many years ago in my 20s was a headache. Although I had less stress as was hard for me to be fired [/quote]
