I live in a state with transparent salary laws and this argument that posting the salary range isn’t deceptive is laughable. If that were true, why wouldn’t they be transparent and make it clear it’s a salary range and not a hiring range? The fact is, most people searching for a job are most interested in what they would be earning when they’re hired, not a theoretical wage 5, 10, or 15 years in the future.
This sort of discrimination is very real. I work in vocational rehabilitation and I’ve had to have these sort of frank discussions with clients, especially if they aren’t getting interviews when they’re well qualified.
I work in worker’s compensation and am pretty familiar with Amazon’s (lack of) safety practices and this does not surprise me in the least. My state recently ordered Amazon to pay a bunch of fines for willfully skirting safety rules, but even $85,000 in fines is nothing compared to the money they make because of skirting those laws in the first place.
That is a good point. $65k in any city/suburb in Washington State probably puts you in a one bedroom apartment. Maybe two if it’s older or shittier. You’re living but certainly not thriving.
i’m a web developer by day, but i recently started doing some side gig work via rover because i legitimately love dogs (and i wanted a bit of extra spending money for my own dogs’ care). i’d love to hear what other folks do when they need a bit more cash flow.
I work in vocational rehab for my full time job and do some career coaching on the side. I only work maybe 4-5 hours a week at the side hustle, just enough for some extra spending money.
If I'm legal resident of a state with no state income tax, but work a W-4 job in a different state that has a very high state income tax...
… is it normal/legal for the state I work in to withhold state income tax from my paychecks?
