I'd be interested in seeing the source on the first claim "26% would leave for a 5% pay rise". In my experience people will rarely leave a job that they are otherwise happy with unless the pay rise is very significant.
- jameshart 12y agoNot a contradiction. Perfectly possible that 26% of people are unhappy with their job.
- chton 12y agoMy thoughts exactly. Should be rephrased to say "26% is currently unhappy enough in their job that they'd leave".
- johnward 12y agoI agree. If I am happy I won't leave for 5%. If I am unhappy I would leave for a pay cut. In my current position I wouldn't say I'm unhappy but would consider leaving for a 10% raise. Only because jumping ship tends to be the only way to get significant raises, over the normal 2-3%. Even if you use another offer to get a raise in your current position.
- FLUX-YOU 12y agoThey may be underpaid. 5% looks a lot more appealing on the lower end of things, and if you're underpaid, there are probably other things wrong.
- wildpeaks 12y agoI'm not sure they'd be the ones on the lower end of things because when you don't earn much, you don't want to risk what you already have for almost no increase (given 5% of little money is very little) whereas 5% of a medium salary is much more of a difference/incentive.
