Wage compaction, I manage a bunch of grants and had to deal with this garbage.

We boosted a bunch of "low-level" non-profit people $2 an hour, which rose them to the level of their direct managers. So we had to boost their pay as well.

2 vs 1.25 vs .75 up to $21/hour.

Lowest got $2, the next lowest range got 1.25, the next level got .75.

15 vs 17 vs 21 before ended up being 17 vs 18.25 vs 21.75.
