A netizen shared how his company is paying new graduates more than the existing workers while also refusing to increase their salary.
Here is the story
New grads at work getting paid higher than us, and the company doesn’t want to increase our salary. Is this a valid reason to quit?
essentially the new graduates entering this year are getting paid a sizeable increment more than the older graduates.
Naturally, the older graduates (including me) are disappointed as we are already handling more responsibilities and tougher issues but we are getting paid lesser than them.
The newer graduates are also coming to us for help. (not that I blame them, it’s not their fault for this discrepancy).
When my batch mates tried to negotiate an increment, management said that it would only come next year, which didn’t go well with us and honestly the morale has been low.
Contemplating whether i should quit, but one thing stopping me is that I only joined this company late last year, so im not sure whether other employers would be understanding. Thanks in advance!
P.S in terms of job scope, i do not dislike or like the role, it has its pros and cons.
Netizens’ comments
- Yes. If the company is not adequately compensating you, then you shouldn’t think twice about staying. Since it shows that they don’t value you.
- Why is there a need for a “valid” reason to quit in the first place? Why is approval needed for resignation?
