A Friday Tale from the Frontlines: ‘Respect? What is That?’
We promise we’ll be back in less-depressed form next week. In the meantime, write to us! We’d love to hear what you’re thinking about this weekend.
Today’s “Tales from the Frontlines,” from a Colorado VP of Human Resources:
See my title? Well, three years ago, I was promoted to VP when the then-MALE VP got caught with illegal drugs in his system. I was promised the same salary and still as of today do not have that, in fact, when we had to reduce salaries due to the economy I took a hit as well. The BOYS have gotten their salaries and then some back, but not me! Respect, what is that? In the Oil and Gas field it is the “Good Old Boy” rule. Why am I still here? I make good money for a woman in this town! Sad, very sad. Before I retire, I want to see equality in pay. I could go on and on, but why bother? I still have hope!
