“Why is my director expecting the same level of commitment from me as someone who makes 275% more? How can I navigate this situation as an hourly, entry-level employee in a small HR department with overwhelming tasks and limited growth opportunities?” #HRstruggles #officepolitics #workplaceequality #careeradvancement
You need to leave. I work more than my team to shield them & because I make 2-3x more than they do. As a director, I feel it’s more my responsibility to work more than my team *unless* someone on my team actually wants to for career growth reasons (this has happened once in the 7 years I’ve been managing in HR).
You need to start searching for a new job asap. You deserve better.
You’re incredibly underpaid for the work you do. Payroll, onboarding, drafting the handbook, implementing a new hris and incentive system?? doing other positions’ core duties completely outside of hr???
No. You are not a catch all. No matter who you are or what your work ethic is, this will burn you out very quickly if you keep it up.
Get out now.
Edit: I also saw that you said you’ve had this title for four years? and you’re only making $21 an hour? Full-time Chick-Fil-A employees right out of high school are making more (my cousin just started there making $22.50). I’m sorry OP, it’s time to find somewhere you are valued.
Get out of there! 4 yrs and u make $21?
You’re doing Manager duties at a Coordinator rate. I hope you’re logging every minute of your overtime and looking for a Manager or Director role while you’re at it. Your job title on your resume should be “Acting HR Manager”.
Why do you still think of yourself as an entry level employee after 4 years? Do you have a degree? Do you need us to tell you that you should be applying for new jobs or that you should have left two years ago
