Minimum is right. This is not much more than university janitors earn in Alabama.
ReplyDeleteSo hold up. This is a full time, in-person job at $42k? No wonder they're reposting. You gotta raise the salary, and if you can't raise it to a decent amount at least make it remote. Do something to make it appealing. Eeek.
ReplyDeleteDios mío. That's about $20/hour. This past summer they raised the minimum from $13 to a whopping $15/hr. Their president makes over $300k and so you would think that if they value the work of the Ombuds, and others, employees would get quite a bit more.
