The pay raises are sufferable and insulting. After four years, still under $40,000--and this is someone living in the Chicago area. With the market trends, inflation, and respectful pay, this is disrespectful and degrading pay. Gallup surveys and P&C are well aware, so when it's a recycled advice tip to reach out to them with concern and nothing is done to offer livable wages to the content department, it reflects as not caring about offering a flexible salary for one to live independently on. It has ALSO been said by upper management in the content department to seek elsewhere for other jobs for better pay--which is laughable to actually say that instead of working towards better pay within the department. The recipe for burnout is in the content department. Shifts in metrics to only oppress the content specialist's success vs in the content specialist's favor is demeaning. Metrics have been openly discussed by content specialists how they work against us and aren't sustainable--and the solution offered is only heighten those metric expectations which are unrealistic to achieve/hit. This will only increase burnout and decrease percentages of those numbers to be hit-especially when variables involved are out of the content specialist's control (responses, content available to work around, research tools, etc.) The bonus offered for one quarter is only $100 if you hit the 25th percentile which is taxed. Content Specialists become a product instead of a person.
