On Strike!
Do You Earn What You Earn?
These days, in Germany the engine-drivers of Deutsche Bahn threaten the country with strike since weeks (while in France they're just doing it). They are struggling for 30% salary increase and a separate labour agreement with with Deutsche Bahn (like the pilots have at Lufthansa). 15% and something like a separate labour agreement as offered so far seems not enough to them. So I have to take the care where I normally would use the train.
Good opportunity to ask you a question: Do you earn what you earn? Shouldn't you not be on strike also? Isn't your employer not making big money with your skills and know-how and paying you only a fraction of it? If so, don't worry, you've got a job. Or are you overpaid? Maybe due to mergers and acquisitions everything has changed beside your salary and the benefits. The job is less complex than before: the department is shrunken, less products, less revenues etc. Be worried, you might loose your job.
The underneath employment sustainability analysis depending on
individual performance and salary (compared to internal and external
market) shows three possible positions.1. Safe (bright), 2. Safe under
certain circumstance (grey), 3. Unsafe (dark grey). The higher the
salary position and the lower the individual performance position the
more endangered your employment is (and the other way round). Try to
indicate your position!
