If new hires are getting paid more than you, it’s time to become one of them

I recently quit my job over this exact thing. I am (was) the highest producer in my department for a certain metal part in my whole department. My department consisted of 4 different machines and ran 3 shifts. The next highest producer in my department might have 70 to 75% of my production for the year. I found out one lazy ass, who’s output is less than half of mine, makes a dollar more that me.

If you find out that you’re being underpaid, one of those options you should be considering is unionizing.

AEGIS-CWA loves sonic union memes btw

FINALLY a version of this meme I can upvote.

@Persona3Reload how much money do you make a year?

I love memes where Sonic gives advice regarding basic rights.

Found out this past summer a new coworker fresh from school was making close to my salary (I have 10 years of experience). Short of it I got a promotion and salary increase out of it, wouldn’t have been able to expedite it if I hadn’t had that talk with the new coworker!

Sadly, my contract prohibits discussing pay since it was written before the law that disallowed employers from including such clauses was a thing. Stuck with it until they have to alter my contract for any reason.
