My department treats salaries as closely-held secrets of state, but the company has a fairly transparent policy, or it seems so by comparison. Salary ranges for all the salary bands are posted on the internal website, and every year at review we're told our "compa ratio" which gives where our current salary falls within the range. (I think my boss is really proud of herself for knowing what the ratio means and how to compute it.) If our ratio goes much over 1.0 they promote us or make a title/position for us; they don't like having people paid outside their salary range. Two months after I was hired here I got a surprise raise of a couple K, and I suspect it was because they'd hired me at below the range.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

How do I stop getting sucked into the Ask A Manager rabbit hole when I go to look up questions relevant to my job search???

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
In different news, just as I'm about to wrap up my volunteer involvement in CJ's search and rescue team I've been asked to take on a larger role with the therapy horse group. I'm looking forward to both changes.

You just have to read the whole site, so then it's just the new posts to worry about.

And our newly upgraded ERP has crashed. Or something. Is not currently available. If it doesn't come back up before my day is officially over I'm not hanging around for it...

My bus was in an accident! I'm 90% sure it was the other guy's fault, but I didn't want to wait around, so I just tried to call the MBTA, but the legal department voicemail box was full. So maybe I'll call back from work tomorrow.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Still have digestive issues. Bleah. I think something I ate triggered my IBS.(My guess- the portobello mushroom ravioli in marsala sauce.)
