More work - less money: a third of working Russians have increased their workload, but not their income An increase in the volume of work does not always translate into a corresponding increase in income, TASS claims. A survey of workers showed that over the past three years, 36.5% of Russians have started working more, but their wages have not changed. In general, 59% of the respondents reported an increase in the scope of responsibility, but only 22.5% of them received a salary increase alongside the increase in workload. Moreover, for three years the salary did not change at all for 35% of the survey participants, and for 8.8% it even decreased. A slight increase (within 25-30%) was recorded by 36.1% of working Russians. Stable annual raises are practiced only in 28% of cases, while 21.7% of employers tie salary corrections solely to the company's current financial capabilities. Now 63.1% of Russians are convinced that their current salary is lower than their actual skills. But 40.1% experience severe psychological discomfort or awkwardness when trying to discuss a raise with management. And 32.5% decide to bring up the issue of money only when they officially receive a new responsibility. The main problem lies in the fact that increasing responsibility without financial incentives affects the motivation of employees. They wanted an index, but they got burned. But unemployment did not increase. This is the paradox of stability. The main thing is that working more for the same money does not become the new norm in the labor market.
