People agree, talented people do not.
- b3kart 6y agoUnderpaid people aren’t talented? That’s harsh.
- dialamac 6y agoIt happens temporarily all the time of course such that there are plenty of talented people underpaid at a given time but long term most will not be. I along with friends went through bouts of shitty jobs, but it is rare to stay that way. Hiring from the pool of low rate workers is not a suitable standard practice at a place that isn’t a shithole.. as we see here with Intel.
- cccc4all 6y agoPeople get paid what they ask for. No one is underpaid or overpaid. Simply ask for more in salary and benefits. When they ask why, state all the reasons why the increase is warranted. If they deny the request, look for another job that pays the higher amount.
- lmilcin 6y agoA lot of people do not understand their worth and let get hired/exploited for peanuts. When I was hired for my absolute first job, over two decades ago, I was asked how much I want. I did not know how much I can ask so I asked some minimum that I thought would pay for my expenses. The guy who interviewed me, who was to be my manager, said he shouldn't be telling this but I can ask twice as much.
- konjin 6y agoYes, your first job. Not your second. You need to be deeply unpleasant to work with for no one to tell you you've been exploited when you leave.
- cccc4all 6y agoHe probably told you that because that was the minimum salary range for that position.
- NeverFade 6y agoThen that underpaid employee gets easily poached for x3 their pay a year in, when they have all the valuable knowledge and work responsibilities. Sounds like what happened at Intel, from the top comments.
