Once again sams in increasing their pay scaling... but only to benefit new hires.
As always if you dedicated you life to the company and make more then the $1 increase you get a whopping 3% now annual raise and of course a new hire off the street with "experience" will make several dollars more an hour then you
You know what I did? I quit. No more 15.30 an hour. No more being overwhelmed and overworked. Get a real job! It's amazing!
The cost of living has gone up. They need to be competitive with pay as well. They also realized the work credits were screwing over people. That’s why they are taking them away so a new hire doesn’t make more than a current associate. Only leads and TBC will qualify for them.
Dont do more work than the new hires. I work cpu and a few weeks ago found out my items per hour are way over the 100 expectation. Since I get the same raise as the people pulling way less, I think I should slow down and get that number to the 100 expectation.
They don’t care , they know what they are doing … to the so called dedicated long term associate , they think that you will stay at no increase in pay , benefits etc. and will continue to do more asked of you while the new hires get paid more and watch you do all the work . And if you do leave they will hire more people for your position. They want to get it were almost every assoc makes $15-19 an hour . They don’t you to make into the $20’s . That’s what they feel is appropriate for only leads and management. That way their pockets are lined very well come bonuses etc. best advice … get all the experience you can in a short amount of time and take that else were . Other businesses ARE paying for experience. The tread is happening in front of you . Be part of it . Don’t go down that dead end road and regret it years and years from now . Remember I told you so 😉
They are totally investiiinnngggg into their future associates and believe that they don’t have to pay for longevity or experience. When you make millions up top and are like your government officials . Money goes to their head and the decisions made by them for you are not the same that would be made for them to go by . Like our country …. Imploding from the inside out 👍🏼🤷🏻♂️
*than. More than you.
Yes I believe the company is that st---d.
New hires start at a higher wage with lower productivity expectations while longer term associates wages don't increase at the same percentage and productivity expectations are much higher.
If this is true then folks who have dedicated their lives to the company will leave at an alarming rate. I don’t believe this company is that stupid. New hires are already making more than ever before while long timers are making considerably less in comparison. This will only make the staffing issues worse since it takes 4 new hires to fill the shoes of one experienced person.
