In honor of Labor Day, we’d like to talk about why the Ringer needs to implement base salary minimums, yearly across-the-board salary increases, and pathways to promotion.

We’ve spent a lot of time collecting personal stories from current & former Ringer employees that illustrate how the company’s policies have exploited workers, hurt diversity efforts & talent retention, and weakened morale. Over the next week, we’ll be sharing some of them here.

Today, our testimonials show how crucial it is to make a livable wage. Here are some of our staffers' personal experiences about struggling to make ends meet. More to come.
