At times, even after giving our best, we do not get what we deserve. We must then stand up for our rights and speak for ourselves. A group of ten workers did this when they were denied a raise and the basic amenities that they needed at the workplace. They had first made a request but it went unheard so they decided to skip work on one day and meet at a coworker's place. u/UnoriginallyGeneric shared, "So, up until Monday, I was a lead shipper and receiver and forklift operator for a regional health care company.

The battle to lure staff back to the office is being won by paying them more, it seems, according to new research. Despite data consistently showing staff would give a proportion of their salary up to work remotely, new research by ZipRecruiter finds that those who fully return to the office are enjoying significantly increased earnings. It found full-time office workers earned an average of $82,037 in March 2024, an increase of more than 38% compared to the previous year. By comparison, remote workers saw far more modest salary increases – of around 9%, taking their earnings to an average of $75,327. According to the job platform’s analysis, hybrid employees, working both in-office and remotely, experienced an 11% salary growth, reaching an average of $59,992. Commenting on the research Julia Pollak, chief economist at ZipRecruiter, said: “The recruitment and retention benefits of remote work have translated into lower wage growth pressure for remote employers.” The research comes on the back of previous ZipRecruiter data showing that new hires in in-office jobs received more significant pay increases during the fourth quarter of 2023. It found that people already holding an in-person role who moved to another in-person job received a 23.2% average pay increase, while those who switched to a fully-remote job only received a 15.8% pay rise. Fully remote workers who moved to an in-person role gained a 29.2% pay rise, compared to the 22.1% rise moving to another fully remote role.
