I stay because I have the best boss ever, I have a very cushy job. He let me bring lo with me for 6 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-660223 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 23:09:36 +0000 DigAPony 660223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Yup--if you're able to get a tenure-track job, then you're pretty golden, but it's a long, hard, competitive road. That's my long-term goal but I don't see it happening for at least...10-15 years? Maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-660220 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 23:04:03 +0000 Mrs. Pen 660220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DigAPony: college instructors are paid diddly-squat. DH is a professor and you'd think he'd be making bank... Ugh. I think he'd be better off as a high school teacher, better pay AND better hours.</p> <p>For my new job I think I will be paid well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-660215 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:58:24 +0000 MamaCate 660215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but that is life in the nonprofit world... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-660178 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:31:45 +0000 Weagle 660178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was in the working world I definitely wasn't being compensated fairly. Such is life working for the government. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-660145 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:09:25 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 660145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-660108 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:52:33 +0000 BSB 660108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am but don't get appreciation or respected from two of my coworkers. At this point,the money is not worth the job. They could pay me more and I still wouldn't stay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-660096 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:48:20 +0000 lilteacherbee 660096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no. I just read an article today saying that my state is ranked 46th in teacher pay. Add in the fact that I teach a government-funded pre-k program, but not IN a public school, and its even less.</p> <p>Sometimes I wonder why I went into student loan debt just to get paid not much above minimum wage. Obviously, I LOVE what I do or I wouldn't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-660040 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:28:15 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 660040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The one job that compensated me fairly...well, let's be honest: more than my fair share, was a terrible job and I hated it &amp; went home hating my life everyday. It was a mixture of location and mediocre co-workers.<br /> The next job paid me just about what I deserved and didn't have benefits...so it was OK , not great, in that sense. I almost would have worked for free though. I loved it there. Awesome location in the fun part of the city &amp; great colleagues who I liked &amp; learned from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-660030 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:24:33 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 660030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I became a SAHM, I was totally under compensated - such is the nonprofit world more often than not, sadly. Hence the SAHM gig... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-660028 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:24:06 +0000 yellowbird 660028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not currently, but I'm starting a new job in a few months and it will be a big improvement. I could make more somewhere else, but I like the type of environment I will be in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-660027 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:23:57 +0000 Grace 660027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I think I am, but it took a very long time to get there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-660020 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:22:08 +0000 DigAPony 660020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am an adjunct college instructor--so the answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-660008 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:17:22 +0000 mrs. wagon 660008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I am a contractor and they pay me the rate I asked for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-660003 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:16:05 +0000 sarac 660003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been thinking about asking my husband for a raise for being a stay at home mom. Seriously, it can be hard to work and work and not get monetary compensation. We're lucky that he's well compensated for his job, at least, so I feel like all of our hard work is worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-659265 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:12:29 +0000 Giraffe 659265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, absolutely. My salary went up by about 50% last summer when my job was reclassified. Before that I had some concerns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-659243 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:08:42 +0000 betsyboop 659243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I worked, I felt I was overcompensated for the actual work I did. But under compensated for the lifestyle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-659157 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:54:34 +0000 Ocean girl 659157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I have more responsibilies/tasks than probably 80% of my colleagues (and do a good job) but I'm likely in the bottom 20% in terms of pay due to seniority within our organization. Oh, and I have more education than most of my colleagues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-659092 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:46:43 +0000 derevival 659092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...although I would love getting a bonus or a raise. Who wouldn't?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-659029 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:36:52 +0000 stlginkgo 659029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummmm in my opinion, no. But I do have a pretty sweet gig </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-659022 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:35:55 +0000 BananaPancakes 659022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know. Before I had a baby, no way. I did multiple people's jobs and got paid less then anyone in my position has ever made. But I work for family, so it is what it is. But now I take my child to work, and half the day I just play with him and do no work at all. Honestly, though, I think I should be a millionaire for putting up with my FIL for the past 7 years. He is not an easy man to work for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-659014 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:34:52 +0000 mrsjyw 659014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep...but I work overly hard too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-659010 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:34:03 +0000 Mrs. Bee 659010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope not yet for hellobee! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-659005 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:33:28 +0000 MediaNaranja 659005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd settle for being compensated, period, lol. 44 more days 'til graduation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-658997 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:32:36 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 658997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-658995 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:32:13 +0000 Reese 658995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-658989 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:31:07 +0000 MrsH 658989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-you-are-compensated-fairly#post-658241 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:30:00 +0000 winniebee 658241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you feel you are compensated fairly for your job?</p> <p>I should make about 30K more a year, IMO. </p>
