Surge pay

[Artee]

Is everyone in the company getting the $3 an hour more surge pay that lasts from September 12th till December 31st or is it just certain markets?

 

[Nolimitz]

LOL not here

 

[MassWineGuy]

Pray tell. What is this surge pay you speak of? What’s your source?

Manager told us today. All three stations around here plus the RT. It's been going on the last couple peaks in Oakland. They actually started getting $3 more an hour a month or more ago

 

[MassWineGuy]

Wow! If you get anything in writing please post it.

We got it at my ramp last year. Haven’t heard anything about this year

 

[Mr. 7]

I don't know about "surge pay". I've been told the temp. bump is to "keep people" during peak that would probably otherwise quit during peak.

 

[MassWineGuy]

I’ll be happy to take it no matter what it’s called.

Surge pay in our building for all pre loaders starting tomorrow until the end of the year.

Bingo, and any nearby locations that don't get it whine like hell about it.

Are you admitting they (the big boys, not you certainly) respond when a formidable card is delt?

We were told it's a premium paid to areas that are struggling to hire people. It showed up last peak for about 6 weeks and then this year it started back up again in April and no end date has been announced for it in our area.

You mean a permanent problem for their temporary solution?

What are you babbling about now?

People respond to money, film at 11.

Can you not find a corporate forum to post on? I believe most on here are current and retired DGO employees.

And how should they respond to an asymmetrical distribution of money when policy dictates Guaranteed Fair Treatment?

Is it Fair, in DanoWorld, to compensate adjacent stations in the same market, unequally? Would you be ambivalent if you found out the guy in the cubicle next to you was given a $10k raise simply to retain him?

I'm sorry, who are you?

Oh? I'd love to see something in policy that dictates anything of the sort.

After all, you have different pay levels for different markets. You people working side by side doing the same job with one guy making ten bucks an hour more than the other. What an asymmetrical distribution of money!!!!

When one has a serious problem that the other doesn't, absolutely. Only a fool would think otherwise.

Would you be ambivalent if you found out the guy in the cubicle next to you was given a $10k raise simply to retain him?

It's an issue of how much it's going to cost to replace him, how long it's going to take to replace him, whether the new guy will be any good, how much potential the existing guy has, and so on. I may not like it or I may not care, but I won't disagree that it's a wise decision when it's obviously a wise decision.

A retired DGO employee that has forgotten more about stations ops than you will ever know. Stay in your lane and stay in corporate discussions.
