What do staff want and what would make them happy? This is a serious question. I have been in public for 25 years. I swear I feel like a mom and therapist as much as a professional. I truly care about my staff. Treat then well, fight for them, invest in their futures. But the last few years it seems like nothing is enough. I am seriously considering early retirement because it is so emotionally draining on me. So many younger staff in here and all I see is complaints. Am I alone?

Do you openly talk about your compensation with friends, family, and coworkers when it comes to seeking new jobs or going for promotions? Are you a male or female? Are you of a minority race? I’m curious, because I was talking to my parents about this topic. My parents believe it’s taboo, but I do discuss this openly and feel like it’s a way to see if I’m on par as an Asian female.
