Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

We’ve got this problem at the place I work. I have to cover multiple departments because we’re short-staffed. Management tells me they’re trying to hire someone.

But the job postings are offering less per hour than when I was hired. We’re offering less than McDonalds, and this is a far more complex job.

There’s no reason for anyone to come work for us.

There's also no reason for them to spend more money when you're covering for multiple departments already. They're pocketing the missing person's salary while you do all the work. You need to look for another job or tell your boss that you need more salary to do the additional jobs foisted upon you.
