"Dear Employers: Stop Acting So Entitled and Raise Your Wages"

[zipplewrath]

3. HR is part of the problem

My employer was increasing their workforce by 50% in one year. We had weekly manpower meetings. Every week HR would claim that we couldn't find "qualified candidates ". Every week I would point out that we made 8 -10 offers a week and got at best 2 acceptances. The response from the candidates was always that our offers were too low. We were also losing some of our best and brightest to competitors for higher wages. And yet every week HR would deny that our offers were too low. "Our offers are consistent with national averages ". Yabbut we're not trying to hire " average employees". We were pursuing top people.

HR lies and upper management wants to hear that.
