Unappreciated performance, lots of work, lack of resources, hardly any salary increases, where does the money go?
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Salary increases are rejected on the justification that the new salary would otherwise fall within the band of a higher position. At the same time, however, it is completely acceptable for the salary bands of higher positions to overlap with lower ones. This selective argumentation clearly shows that it is not about a fair and transparent system, but about keeping salary adjustments as small as possible. Equality looks different.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Simply pay your employees according to market value and reward their performance. In this way, you could perhaps counteract declining motivation, longer time-consuming activities due to a lack of motivation. You are moving into a vicious spiral. Less payment, less motivation, even less payment, even less motivation. Where do you think this is supposed to lead in the long term?
Karriere/Weiterbildung
You are “parked” on tasks - there has been no further training for years. It is pointed out that they exist. Yes, they “officially” exist. Under the guise of further training, they are rejected on request.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Don't really stand behind the employees - in some cases they probably can't help it, as they are only employees themselves.
Arbeitsbedingungen
It's okay if you've just started and negotiated an okay salary at the start. You can then stay for 2-4 years until your non-increasing salary is no longer in line with the market and you have to change jobs. As there are no further training and career opportunities here, it's not worth staying longer than 2-3 years.
Gehalt/Benefits
If you are there for 3-5 years, it is common that you can effectively earn less than you started with due to inflation, as salaries only increase minimally. 2-3% a year is not uncommon. Despite promotion, it's common to start at the bottom of the salary band as it overlaps with your previous position. It is therefore possible that colleagues who are below your position earn as much or more than colleagues who have much more responsibility and experience. In my opinion, this is a perfidious ploy to justify a very low increase. The only possibility to get a salary increase is to change your job. And I feel this is what they want you to do rather than just paying more.
Gleichberechtigung
There is a lot of talk about B-Corp and equality. With such different salaries for the same work and skills, I wouldn't call that equal.
