They ended up having to back pay me, which fucked up my taxes. My boss blamed it on me and said that I "should've noticed sooner." She still works there. She also "unknowingly" publicly created a google doc with my entire team's salary breakdown, including personal notes for everyone on her team.

Rights Clearance Analyst 59600 White Woman (cisgender) Straight Full-time 2 8 0 0 None I was given a 2% increase last year in April (2019) during my review (despite receiving a positive albeit very short review) and was told this was all there was in the budget. While the semantics/ specifics weren't addressed, and while my salary did increase, I don't think I's consider this a merit increase per se because it is merely keeping up with inflation ('cost of living' increase, maybe? Although I could be wrong). With this said, though, I started with the team at the end of March 2018, and my salary did increase from around 50,500 when I started to maybe 58,500 in November/ December 2018 because of changing labor laws in NYC that would have required Conde to pay me overtime at my starting salary in addition to it; they elected to bump my salary instead.

Associate Social Media Producer 60000 South Asian Woman (cisgender) Straight Full-time 1 5 0 0 0 I went from being on editorial at another mag for almost two years, making about $36,000 leaving to go to grad school, being hired back on the digital side and making $60,000 as a digital producer. They were not willing to negotiate. They were not willing to do relocation. They were like here's what we're offering, take it or leave it. It's fine, they laid off all their BIPOC staff in one fell swoop during an editorial changeover. United States

As part of the hourly rate, I was intended to only work a set amount of hours and then charge more if I went over, but that didn't work as one reporting editor was frequently delayed in responding and assigning.

Post Supervidsor 400 White Man (cisgender) Gay Full-time 1 10 25 2 None - Freelance No benefits, no day off, no staff to support a mountain load of work. Was told I was hired to "build a team" but its clear after 1 year they expect me to do all the work on my own. I regularly have to work 11 -12 hours days and weekends without any over time. During our busy season I once had to work for 48 hours straight without leaving the office, and then needed to pay for my own hotel room down the street to rest for 5 hours and then come back to work again. That week i put in over 100 hours, but was told that I was only going to be paid for a 40 hour week cause that was what was in my contract. None of my managers stepped in to support me, instead told me that this was a "challenging place to work" and only the strong survive. Complete BS. USA

USA
Web Producer 30000 white Woman (cisgender) Straight Contract 1 15 none I was "laid off" after asking for more responsibilities and the potential to be hired as a staffer at a higher salary.
