Will the review be with your supervisor only or will HR be involved in that process?
I'd suggest handling it outside of the review so it's not looked upon as a raise but rather a correction. Remember to document document document. If you have a conversation with your supervisor, write up a quick summary via email and send it saying, "Here's what we talked about. Did I leave anything out?" The person with the best documentation will be the one that wins.
Supervisor only. No HR for the review. But pursuant to that - I will bring it up as a correction, outside of the review.
If there is ONE thing i've learned in this place, it's document document document. Thanks for that Chico. You bet your bippy I'll document.
Also, do you have an EAP? They will probably have some good advice on these things.
LOL. Employee Assistance Program. It's tied to our benefits. You call and they answer questions etc. Most of them are about HR things or how to manage personal issues. I could call and ask what advice they'd have.
Oh, I know it won't change but it just irritates me to no end. I feel that it's especially "the norm" in the South, where women aren't expected to be the salary-earners. They are supposed to be wives and mothers, not successful business people.
If Mayo hadn't learned this about her fellow employees, would any sort of action have been taken? Would HR have brought it up to her? Her bosses?
I guess our place is not the norm. HR would have brought it up to her supervisor at our place and asked for rectification. We classify everyone by a category and a grade within the category. There is a range within each of those that correspond directly to years of experience and education or certifications. Then it's tied to the location of workplace. I know it's not a perfect setup but it does enable me to ensure that people who do the same job with the same quals get paid the same. And every year HR is required to review all this prior to annual reviews in case a bump is required for someone. Technically, it should be illegal for me to ignore the HR and labor dept codes and pay someone less for doing the same work. As it should be.
It's quite disappointing to do the math about what the take-home of a given percentage raise is. We get a 3% raise every July, after taxes and my 403b, this past 3% raise worked out to be about 20 bucks a week. Yippee?
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I had no idea it was legal to give a promotion based on personal changes such as marriage and children. I'm disgusted by all this. Ugh.
It depends on the state. I know Tennessee has some jacked up labor laws, so it would probably be fine to do this here. Realistically, they don't promote the new parent/newlywed because of that. The person who "is most qualified/deserving" for the promotion just happens to fit in one of those categories.

I don't even see marriage/kids as a plus in the work place. It's that many more distractions/ sick days/ vacations that you have to worry about.
Many view it as a indication of your maturity for some reason. You're seen more as someone who has a good head on your shoulders and will act more adult versus someone who is single that doesn't really have anything holding them to a place or job.

Yeah, I think I've read in a book or seen a movie where the lawyer is trying desperately to find a wife to make partner.

I say we give it a try. Let's have an inforoo get me promoted thread. It'll bring together inforoosters that want babies/spouses to further their career.

I've noticed co-workers who are single parents have the exact opposite employer reaction, as well.

You are correct.
Distraction - check Sick Days - check Vacation days - check
I'd write more but I have to leave early to go take all three donkeys to the dentist and then stay up late to make up the time I'm missing this afternoon...
Okay this was the post when I started I quacking hate Monopoly My kids love Monopoly We're playing quacking Monopoly
Then I had a phone call letting me know that my friend who has died of ovarian cancer. I quacking hate this. She kept talking about coming with us to Roo after treatment. She was a vibrant strong woman who is now gone. Don't put shiz off people, even if it's playing quacking Monopoly.
BTW Mayo, what tends to happen in my office is that there is an occasional cost of living raise but it winds up being added to the base salary so new employees can make more than vets without much effort. Does sound like you are in patriarchy hell.

I feel like that is just POOR math Katbur! Guess I shouldn't be surprised, HR folks aren't necessarily math whizes. Or else they'd be in accounting. Oh wells. We shall see what the EAP has to say.
