As someone who works in HR, odds are it’s c-suite calling the shots and shifts the blame. We’ve been trying to make our CEO understand why parental leave is important. Presented studies, numbers, the whole gamut but he thinks it’s a way for people to get out of work and too costly. Then turns around, and decides all the execs need to get concierge benefits, all because he had to cancel his derm appt last minute. Benefit is twice the cost that parental leave would be. Fuckers are so out of touch.
They always say they have competitive wages, but I don’t think they know what the word means. When you compete, you try to win, not match what others a doing.
The competition is so fierce the government was forced to come in and say that there is a minimum amount you are required to pay employees. For some reason they didn’t specify the maximum. I don’t know why maybe if they do more competing we will find out.
