On Obtaining Appropriate Compensation...
wpc4 asks: "I've been working at my current place of employment in California for going on 2.5 years. I work for a rather big HMO providing IT support for over 2000 users. In my time there I have had no negative feedback, I am the "go to" for the department, I have improved our service area's image to other IT departments in our organization, had one promotion, and so forth. I am currently making over $5k less than the minimum for my title, while some new employees just got hired with the same title and lesser skills as myself and were hired on at over 30% more than I make, yet I have 2.5 years of seniority. Since I'm not union I don't appear to have any way of trying to get myself compensated appropriately, is there anything in the California labor laws that I can pull into play? Any suggestions at all before I look for other employment?"
"Huh? How can you be making less than the minimum? What minimum are you talking about?"
He pays them to work there.
"Derp de derp."
..."You are lucky to have a job in this economy so shut up and take it" post.
So let's pipe down and not have to wade through another million of them, hm?
He must work in Soviet Russia then.
Didn't work:(
Does your employer know that you surf the net and post 'Ask Slashdot' questions while at work. If they do, then I wouldn't ask for a raise. :)

Take a dump on the coffee room floor.
