During covid my former company made record profits 2 years in a row; nearly doubling their annual profits. I had an open position on my team and had to hire a new employee. I got to pick the candidate and HR handled their offer and compensation package. The amount of disrespect they showed in their offers made me lose a lot of good candidates and in the end the person that was hired left after a few months when we were “reorganized” and he was going to be moved and dropped from L3 support down to L1 and his salary was going to be cut in half. I wrote letters of recommendation for all my team members and I’m happy to say all of us left for greener pastures. At one point I was even told my most senior employee couldn’t earn more than me despite his years of tenure and complication of his role. I had no issue with it but it apparently was against “company policy”
