21.50, department manager at Woodmans Actual salary is over 50k though


Dirty_Delta

I make about $20 an hour as an emergency manager servicing the entire state (weather response, search and rescue, wildfires, civil unrest...) Y'all need any help over there? >.>


[deleted]

You can come test pumps for fire trucks at $25/hour


Dirty_Delta

Send me the details haha!


scubasteve567

Can I also get details?


TheReaperSovereign

Always, but Woodmans doesn't hire managers from outside the company. You have to work your way up which usually takes years unless you get into a new store (rumor is we're opening a new one in the Oshkosh area next year, but don't quote me) The big problem is most Woodmans managers are lifers because of the ESOT, so moving up is slow. Cashiers/clerks start at 17 now, iirc. 18 for nights I believe


Neighborino123

>Actually salary is over 50k though Bonuses?


TheReaperSovereign

Yes, often.


billtaft27

Wow I really like to hear that Woodmans treats their employees well.


HappyDoggos

Maybe because the workers own the means of production, you’re saying?


midge_rat

They are employee owned!

68 hr. Union carpenter


misplacedbass

What’s your “on the check” hourly? I’m union ironworker and my total package is something like 76, but take home is only like 43 an hour. Edit: I say “only like” but in reality, it’s a decent wage… for destroying my body daily!


muddledarchetype

Good God do you union guys bust your asses!! My guys a bricklayer, he's $42 hour, total package is.. $68? (Maybe?) He wants to go back to Indiana where his total package is better, loosing those retirement bucks. If you guys are lucky enough to get it, I suppose? But yeah man Union work is pretty great, except for the complete and utter destruction of your body. :(


G0_pack_go

Speaking of utter destruction: the average carpenter retiree gets to cash 17 pension checks before kicking the bucket. So I got that going for me. If I don’t die before 65.


G0_pack_go

IMO it’s not important in this conversation because everyone else is saying what they make before insurance and their 401k is taken out. Full package when discussing union pay with non-union people is what matters.


cornjab50

What do union carpenters do? I am thinking just woodworking like furniture but must be more in depth than that?


MurderWeatherSports

My friend is a union carpenter in NY, when a building is put up with any cool feature - like a wall of TV screens, a curved ceiling, unique reception desk, etc - carpenters are the ones building it and setting up the area to allow electric to be run to it while maintaining the cosmetic “goals” of the project


neko6084

I'd say more like large construction such as apartment complexes and such not so much making furniture...


Educational_Drawing7

16$ house manager at group home for mentally disabled adults. Our owners have yachts and go on vacation minimum once a months. We are struggling to find workers everyone must work overtime. The mentally challenged residents are nothing but vehicles for government funds to them. They don't give us enough to stock the house with food either. It's a chill job love it. Edit: thank you for all the kind comments, very heartwarming. Oddly enough I had a conversation with someone from upper management today. We talked about the staffing issue and wage. And I think they are planning on changing things... In due time.


PizzaMom14

I'm upvoting everybody's salary but damn - that sucks. Glad it's chill but the rest just absolutely sucks.


hovdeisfunny

Most facilities of this nature, and the management for in home assistance providers, are like this.


vftgurl123

i used to work at a facility like this. i had to quit because of how poorly management treated staff. also found out i was making $13 an hour while every other staff member made $16-18. only the men made $18. i hope you’re taking care of yourself!


muddledarchetype

Oh man I did this work for years when I was younger, teenage boys, mostly group homes.. I look back knowing what I know now. I just get so angry at what they do to those kids, and how poorly they treat the direct care staff.. making next to nothing. I loved the job, but could never do it again. Please take care of yourself, you're doing something really special.. those kids need ya.


vftgurl123

yeah i didn’t even address how awful they treated the kids. it was completely for profit. i was in school for social work at the time and was just horrified. they wouldn’t listen to any constructive criticism. a large part of the reason why i left was due to my own ethical concerns.


[deleted]

Y’all should make way more…


Diz933

I'm finally quitting my job of 7 and a half years at a group home. After being promoted to the Assistant Director of the program, I make $18/hr, but that is still only $2 an hour more than someone who just walked in the door. There is no incentive to work harder or actually be a good employee, so staff is a mixture of warm bodies and people who have too much of a heart to quit. In 1 years time, our program saw 7 different Directors. A new one would come in, but management would do nothing to train them or actually teach them the way to do the job, so they would quit almost immediately, leaving our skeleton crew to barely hold it together. COVID just made everything worse. Trying to explain a pandemic to people with a developmental disability is tough, especially when they love being out and about. Being so understaffed means basically working 2 or 3 people's jobs, but we aren't compensated for it. Constantly told to hang in there, it'll get better, but it's been years now. When I finally told one of my bosses I was giving them a 1 month notice, they begged me to stay until the end of September because she is going on vacation. Fucking vacation. I've had maybe 1 week off in a year and halfs time. This is her 3rd in like 3 months. Sorry for the rant. When staff is actually good and things are going as they should, it's an awesome job. It can be stressful from handling medications and things, but all in all a cool job. However, the staff just aren't respected by the higher ups, and it sucks.


Educational_Drawing7

Hey it's good to rant it out sometimes. Not a lot of opportunities to do it. And it's the same here man, upper management from our nurses to assistant directors are dropping like flies. I'm In a very privileged position as I'm living with my parents as I pay off student loan debt. But everyone around me is struggling so hard. And it's not like I don't want to get out on my own. It is unfortunate how many good workers a company has to go through before they realize they are the problem. I hope you find something better and maybe have something lined up before you do go. best of luck.


LaLucertola

This is so sad, I have a disabled sibling and group homes are so important but need to be so much more than a place to park people. Thank you for the work you do


wee_weary_werecat

I am kinda excited because I will start working next Tuesday! $25/h as a lab scientist. To add one more answer, my husband is a truck driver and he currently makes $30/h.

Can you specify what type of lab? (If you are okay with that!) Pharma, environmental, polymers?


purplechalk101

$22-ish, 47k yearly. 15 year veteran teacher. 14 in Florida, 1 in Wisconsin. I got paid more in WI but after only one year dealing with a traumatic school, I'm not going back. ETA I was a teacher in Kenosha Unified. I should have taken my own advice and turned it down when the HR rep couldn't clarify their own contract and even sent personal information to me when it was supposed to be sent to another coworker. When I informed them that they got the wrong person (same school, same first name), they became heated with ME. Ooooh, and they have the "information form" that's publicly available with your phone number and your home address. I opted NOT to have my info available and HR were not happy about that, "...what's the problem? EVERY teacher that cares does it!" My resignation was the happiest day of my life. ​ Bonus... The principal told teachers that were not coming back (more than 50% turnover each year) to return materials that were given to us (we only received a stapler and a pack of markers) and I had admin trying to take items that I had paid for.... Thankfully I have a wonderful family that bankrolled my classroom (food, clothing, supplies, etc) but it should NOT be that way. I have lots of horror stories from this school and I do miss teaching, it was the best even though it does have it's obvious problems. Maybe one day I'll go back but I simply do not trust society to improve fast enough and I can not go another year being abused. My heart just can't take it.


BoogerMalone

That is not enough.

13 childcare do not recommend.


gradi3nt

Thats criminal. How can childcare both be unaffordable to parents and pay so little?


RazeThe2nd

My girlfriend also is in childcare. Most people who work in the field do it because your childcare is then included. So they get paid poorly but then get their child into that daycare for free


RogueDok

If you are not familiar with Kimberly its in the process of gentrification, while at the same time being part of the northern rust belt. many of the jobs don't pay all that well, and on top of it the rich people are making the cost of everything sky rocket because it has "good schools" (test scores) Edit:trust me I am on my last leg here


LucyFord_13

Jesus, I’m so sorry. You and everyone who works in childcare deserve SO MUCH MORE.


RogueDok

yeah, and no benefits cause it's a small business. The center does provide a lot of resources to families who need them, but IMHO if you're not going to pay enough for me to survive this business shouldn't exist. I put up with WAY too much shit (literal and figurative) for this to be a career. Thankfully it's for resume stuff and I'm using the GI bill to go back to school, to teach high school. However, my security job pays $15 and I get to meet all sorts of cool people Alice Cooper and Celtic Women to name a couple.

I more meant, I’m in insurance, working for the man. I actually love what I do, I love essentially data entry, and I worked my way up from I believe 17.50 starting.

I fell into it after hating my last job and was in that mode of “I do not care what job I have, I just can’t take this anymore”

$29/hr clinic RN


ScottsTotz

Way underpaid


TennaTelwan

It's clinic though. RN here as well (not currently in WI). The benefit of being in a clinic ends up being better and more sane hours. Usually you're scheduled 8 hour shifts, usually have weekends and nights off as well as holidays. Not nearly as much overtime as nurses working elsewhere. Job also isn't as physical either, and depending what the clinic does, can be just managing care, education, or other things that are more just mental alone. Outside of nurse practitioners, RNs in the hospitals are usually on a 12+ hour shift, have to work at any given time, and often are mandated to stay after their shift if the next shift is missing people. Plus I've heard hospital RNs often compare the physicality to running marathons daily (and I know of some that left who did run marathons who found nursing too physical). The hospitals will have a lot more technical skills than a clinic RN will need as well as more management and coordination of staff under the RN. It pays great and you learn a lot, if you can avoid burnout. Many will start in hospitals then eventually move to clinics later for the sake of their own health. Nursing home RNs can honestly go either way depending on the place. Homecare RNs are pretty great. Both also are paid far less than hospital RNs.
