“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
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
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”.
Get out of there! 4 yrs and u make $21?
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.
You need to start searching for a new job asap. You deserve better.
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).
