One way to find how much you are valued is to look for work elsewhere.
Fire her immediately. Example making can save a lot of headaches. She went public with private information.
oh, where to start…
The employee gets points for documenting this via text.
“Elliot” should have:
0. Squared up/topped up the legacy employee if she was solid, during the great resignation…self-fund the raise.
1. Called HR to advised them of the situation.
2. Refrained from having this exchanged documented, via text. I won’t detail the umpteen screw-ups Elliot made in the texts, ie “you won’t leave over this will ya?”
3. Schedule a call with the employee.
4. Been fired after this all went public.
Some employee will have a "parking lot" conversation with another employee and find out that he or she is getting paid less or perhaps got less of a pay raise than the other employee.
They then confront me and want to know why.
I doubt very much that employees are sharing pay stubs in the parking lot, so to speak. Most employees will exaggerate what they make to other employees in order to establish themselves in the pecking order.
Only correct for the boss now: “We wish you the best of luck in your new position. Please pick up your personal belongings and your final check at the security office tomorrow morning.”
I would never want to work for a company whose stock would rise if they fired people. Such a company is ripe for hostile takeover and dramatic reorganization. A quality employee could get caught up in the meat grinder when the company is taken over.
Minimum wage laws should be re-named as "minimum productivity laws". If an employee doesn't contribute enough to the company to justify his pay, he needs to go. Profit-making companies are not charities.
I always figured other people’s salaries were none of my business.
1. Women
2. Emotionally stunted men
These are the only employees I’ve ever dealt with who were so docile and compliant that they only cared about how much they were paid after finding out how much their co-workers were paid.
Most of the men who worked for me fit into two groups: (1) those who were smart enough to know what their work was worth, and (2) those who aggressively sought to be paid more regardless of how much they were really worth.
Stop that nonsense, NY Post. This is about one employee and she’s a “she.”
I was told it was the old manager, he said he did the write up but not the compensation. I talked to HR and they told me it wasn't them, it was the old manager that did the compensation (i.e. the last guy I spoke to). One of them is lying. HR was salty about being asked.
Bottom line, I believe they looked at me and saw that I was in a different organization and decided to f*** me give the money to someone else (there is a common pot of money for raises) and there would be no consequences and that now nobody they are all ashamed to admit they did it. nobody will tell me why I didn't get even an average review which cost me a lot of money because they CAN'T tell me why.
Coworkers are not your friends. A few are true friends. Others may seem cordial and supportive (as these people did) but don't count on it.
“Okay. Would you rather I discuss it with a labor lawyer?”
Definitely. HR should have a discussion and investigate. Once determined who the source for her information was...that person should be fired.
At least, that's the way it works in the company I work for.
