I was brought on in a director level role with my current company. Been with them for 6 months now and started seeing red flags in the first week. We have pay ranges for each job title and all my staff are paid at the low end, not even one at the mid-range. 2 of my reports are high level performers. Because of this, they've been given more high level duties outside of their job description over the years (before I got there), but haven't seen any increases outside of the annual COLA increase. Now that it's review season, I come up with a proposal for the 2 employees outlining their actual duties vs. their original job description and take it to my CFO and HR to ask for raises or bonuses for both of them. A 2 hour back and forth conversation basically resulted in them saying "other duties as assigned" is in their job description and if they stayed for X amount of years they have the opportunity to eventually grow to the mid or high level range of their salary bracket from the annual COLA increases. They also said they don't really do performance based raises because it can be unfair to other employees. Total bullshit IMO.
The conversation blew my mind. They have terribly low employee morale and ridiculously high turnover for certain positions. However, certain high level management wonder why.
Just had to rant.

That was part of our job description. If you try to imagine how do you write job description for policing?
Protect life, protect property, bring offenders before the crown, execute warrants and other duties as assigned.
