Barnes & Noble CEO backs selling AI-written books in stores
the-independent.comI’ve realized I was making more when I was on hourly since being moved to salary. How do I address it?
The title says it all, but I will provide a little context-
A few weeks ago, my boss threatened to pull me off salary and put me back on hourly. It got me wondering what my actual hourly rate it now since I’m working pretty consistent weeks.
I’ve had a role change since salary took place which brought more hours, so when I started doing the math, the numbers were getting closer than I thought.
After it was all said and done, I put the numbers through 3 different systems to make sure I was not going crazy, and I am in fact making less on salary than I would be if I was hourly. I’m not sure by exactly how much, but I just know it’s less.
I’m not sure how to address it without coming off as “I expect a raise or else…” but that’s kind of where I’m at.
