Keeping pay a secret only hurts employees. A lot of companies will try to swindle wherever they can.

I know they are the same person but "Austin" is just so darn cute.. lol

So, for a long time, I abided by the whole "don't discuss your pay" at whatever job I was at. I also would never even try to negotiate my pay--I just accepted whatever they said their starting pay was.
Then I applied for a job as a cashier at a gas station (Circle K, specifically) here on the Gulf Coast of Alabama. It was a second job that I only intended to work at while school was out for the summer (I'm a bus driver). On the application, for "desired pay", I put $10/hr, because that was what I wanted (School bus drivers here are salaried, so I still had my school board paycheck coming in--this job was just for extra money). They have it to me, with no pushback. I subsequently found out, that that, as a cashier, I was being paid a higher hourly rate than their assistant managers, and that really pissed me off; what really annoyed me, though, was the fact that the assistant manager at the store where they sent me, knew how much I was making, and her jealousy over it caused her to be shitty towards ME, instead of her using the knowledge to demand higher pay for herself. We really have to stop with the misdirected anger.

‘How much does her husband Makes?’
‘About 500, 000 a year’
‘Yeah I have no chance’ 😂

At some point, those ER Nurses at the top of the pay scale will be written up extensively until they are fired or quit... so the hospital can hire new grads and save money. The sad truth of being a health care worker working for greedy organizations

I would love to see Austin's partner come in or him get one, he's so sweet and kind 💝

[marymiller]

This is better than any soap opera out there!

Would you like fries with that paycheck? They're salted with the tears of EMTs and Paramedics.

I feel this I only made 15.75 an hour working as an ER tech on night shift in 2010 when I lived in VA . Decided it was time for a career change and became a pet groomer, best decision I ever made I love my job now and make more money.

It’s getting easier and easier to transition from one character to another and recognise each of their unique traits.. great job !!!

Austin: “it’s not that much more…”

AUSTIN THEY’RE MAKING AT LEAST 25% MORE THAN YOU!

When I graduated from college with my first degree (mechanical engineering), the company I worked for kept engineers' 1980 salaries private. Here's why. Female, four year college degree, paid $12K per annum. Lead draftsman, male, no college, vo-tech high school certificate, $18K per annum. Male draftsman, high school diploma, no formal training, $15K per annum. Male engineers four year college degrees, $20 - $25K per annum. When I found this out (the males were bragging about how much they made and I was paid what the secretarial pool got paid), I asked the lead engineer why...and he patted me on the head and said, "Don't worry, honey. Some man will come along and marry you and take you away from all this." At that point, I joined the U S Navy.

I have to disagree with Austin on this one. Those should absolutely _not_ be private. Everyone's pay being private is part of how the people up top get away with paying people less than they deserve.

Being able to check you what your employer is paying everyone to make sure there's nothing shady going on is part of your rights as a worker. (And sweet people like Austin are often some of those short changed the most when employers are allowed to keep that secret)

Now I want a full medical series where EVERY CHARACTER is played only by him lol

The ER Tech salary is either too high or my hospital is severely underpaying us. 12.57an hour.

[Ikantspell]

Med tec and CNA are a 1/4 step above part-time janitor. Hospitals figure those jobs can be performed by a competent highschool or college student and don't care if they turn those positions over more than a hotdog on your uncle's BBQ. 99% of the real work 1% of the pay.

Hearing California salaries always shocks me as a North Carolinian, because our minimum wage here is $7.25 and I make $14 an hour which is considered average.

[LanceDaPsycho]

I'm naive and only found out about negotiating pay and pay differences very recently. As a new grad nurse, I started at $33, and at 1 year of working, I hinted at my manager that I don't think I can wait another year (in this setting) to hit that new base pay. At 2 years, our base gets bumped up to $40. She got it approved for me so I wouldn't leave, and told me this is confidential. This is before any bonuses and differentials. I've been at this job for 1 year and 2-ish months now.

Im fighting a panic attack trying to prepare myself physically and emotionally for $2.50 Door Dash orders. Then I see this video and realize no wonder I'm panicking, poor and exhausted. Next time you ER folks treat a mean exhausted overworked PTSD nutcase just know we hate being this way lol. Poverty and exhaustion exacerbate our conditions. Love your videos btw!

[hdjksa]

Dang shame. I remember when $60k a year really meant something.
