Pay raises

The HR Manager told us she is well aware there is no where to advance in the company-we are all stuck where we are-- so we could cross train. According to the HR Manager cross training "should be a much appreciated form of compensation. It says we realize you are a benefit to the company."

Hummmm..... maybe looking for a new job would be a good idea!

Well, I can say this for your HR Manager, she is right about training being a form of compensation. Take the training and turn it into a higher paying job somewhere else.

While I don't agree with the way she said it, or the policy, she is right in that you have to decide if the benefits of the job out weigh the fact that you might not get a raise. BTW, are you actually in this position or is this just a future possibility? I've also found that sometimes people make a policy in theory and when the you know what hits the fan and folks start leaving en masse, they change their tune a bit.
