HR: We lost our top employee today.
CEO: What happened?
HR: He resigned.
CEO: That makes no sense. He was our top performer.
HR: Yes. And that was part of the problem.
CEO: What do you mean?
HR: He found out he was earning 15% less than one coworker, 11% less than another, and 8% less than a third.
CEO: How did he find that out?
HR: He discussed salary with his coworkers during lunch.
CEO: That violates the employee handbook.
HR: That is what you told him.
CEO: Because employees are not supposed to discuss compensation.
HR: He was not the problem. The pay gap was.
CEO: There are many factors that determine pay.
HR: He had the same job title, the same length of service, and more tenure than two of them.
CEO: That does not automatically mean equal pay.
HR: He also handled the highest number of clients and generated the third-highest revenue.
CEO: Salary reviews are done in March.
HR: He was not asking for a promotion cycle. He was asking why the lowest-paid person on the team was also one of the strongest performers.
CEO: I told him we could discuss it later.
HR: You also warned him that discussing pay could lead to a formal warning.
CEO: I was reminding him of company policy.
HR: He heard it as punishment for discovering he was underpaid.
CEO: That was not my intention.
HR: Intentions do not matter much when the message is, “You found unfairness, so now you are in trouble.”
CEO: Then he resigned immediately?
HR: Yes. He used his saved vacation days to shorten his notice period.
CEO: I tried calling him after that.
HR: I know. You wanted to restructure his responsibilities and revisit his compensation.
CEO: Because losing him creates a serious gap.
HR: He already knew that. That is why the underpayment hurt even more.
CEO: Did he respond? ↓
All of our societal systems were literally designed by old men back in the horse and cart days
Everyone knows it’s designed to keep you in perpetual debt so why do we keep humouring their bullshit..
I smoked a tiny bit of DMT last night.
I thought I just had a tiny toke to taste it…
next minute I was blasting through 1000 colours into some weird shiny block world and forgot I was breathing.
Wow! 😮
@KevinSzabo14 Mathew 6: 24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
I don’t give a fuck how good you feel at the time
NEVER share too much with the Woman in your life
It WILL backfire on you if you do
Just a matter of time
Change my mind.
