    We’ve got this problem at the place I work. I have to cover multiple departments because we’re short-staffed. Management tells me they’re trying to hire someone.

    But the job postings are offering less per hour than when I was hired. We’re offering less than McDonalds, and this is a far more complex job.

    There’s no reason for anyone to come work for us.

      There’s also no reason for them to spend more money when you’re covering for multiple departments already. They’re pocketing the missing person’s salary while you do all the work. You need to look for another job or tell your boss that you need more salary to do the additional jobs foisted upon you.
