There's something else on my mind besides babies (I'm actually quite glad about that) that I want to talk about.
I'm having a catch-up session with my boss tomorrow and one of the agenda points is a salary discussion. Of course I put that on the agenda.
He has to give me feedback on something I raised with him over a year ago. The fact that I'm underpaid according to our salary scales.
The only reason I stay is that freedom is one of my highest values and I get lots of freedom here - to do my job and to come and go as I please.
Actually, the other reason (which is fast growing old) is that I have to get this salary sorted out. Part of our recruitment processes here (is it the same where you live?) means that you have to disclose what you currently earn AND give a copy of your payslip.
I am GREAT in interviews and I stall as long as possible but then, I have to tell them and that's when everything goes south. I understand it perfectly - they're thinking "if you're such a quality candidate, then why on earth are they paying you so little?"
*sigh*
It happened because when I started here I was on a very low pay scale so even though these guys increased it by something like 36%, I never really caught up.
My thing is - why should I be penalised for them not sorting this out years ago?
what would you do in my situation?
