'I hope this addresses your concern': Employee asks HR why new employees are getting paid more, gets ridiculous response


It's as if HR has become a parody of itself! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/GeorgeClooneysMom (what a username, she's definitely not his actual mom though we can certainly dream, can't we?). The employee in question recognized that new hires were getting paid significantly more.

 

When they brought it up to HR, it became clear that this is not the first time they have received these types of questions. In fact, their e-mail response was so carefully crafted that it is quite obvious this employee is not alone with regard to their concerns. Best solution? That would be to up and leave. As many people in the comments suggest, the best way to get a proper raise in this climate is to switch jobs. I wish that weren't the case, but that's just the current state of things.
