The payroll sheet left on the printer

The case

Someone left the office-wide salary spreadsheet on the shared printer. Within hours everyone saw it: notable gaps emerged for equal roles, and those hired in the last 2 years earn on average more than veterans. Resentment exploded; three people already requested 'urgent' meetings. How do you manage the week?

Qualcuno ha dimenticato sulla stampante comune il prospetto delle retribuzioni di tutto l'ufficio. In poche ore è girato tra tutti: sono emerse differenze notevoli a parità di ruolo e chi è entrato negli ultimi 2 anni guadagna in media più dei veterani. Il malumore è esploso, tre persone hanno già chiesto un colloquio 'urgente'. Come gestisci la settimana?
