A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Last place I interviewed, recruiter and I agreed with my qualifications etc I should ask for 90k. They hired someone for 67.5k with no qualifications. The person literally took a pay cut to take the job. I don't get it.

Sounds like they hired someone unqualified cause it cost them less and the person with no qualifications took it because so would you if that was your best option.

That's why they hate things like welfare or full employment. They need a desperate army of reserve labor to keep wages low.
