i want to ask a question about how much to pay someone with 10 yers of experience whom I promoted to foreman.
I promoted someone with 10 years of experience to foreman, how much should I pay them?
I have experience with this I have to say: foreman salary depends on a few factors. Gather the data first don't make emotional decisions.
Correction: I misremembered the figure, it was a bit lower.

Technically speaking: there are two main factors in deciding on a foreman salary. Cost-benefit and risk management. Make decisions based on data.
this was a problem for me too thx. ended up having to find another way. really stressful situation.

Another perspective: maybe the core problem with foreman salary is something else. Think about it like this...

You're right, I've been down that road too. Finding a new customer is more expensive than keeping an existing one.
I'm a small business, let me explain from my side. Finding a new customer is more expensive than keeping an existing one.
Taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate. Good luck with that.

We got stuck at the same point for a while. Splitting your budget without knowing where you're losing users is just throwing money in the dark.

Im writing this so you dont make the same mistake. tbh trying to do this alone is the most expensive way.
Processes without records never improve, because you don't know what to fix. anyway if you have questions write them; I'll answer as best I can.

The cheap-looking path usually ends up costing more later. Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval.
Proven by experience.
quick smumary for newcomers: Mistakes made on the foreman salary side are usually reversible but expensive.
of course, it varies if your situatin is different.

I agree, and I'd like to emphasize that. Solutions that work at a small scale collapse when you grow; I learned this late.
If you post the result here, it will help others too.
There's a common mistake people make when doing this. People defend habits, not processes. Resistance comes from there.

let me speak from the other side; I'm on the supplier side. mistakes made on the foreman salary side are usually reversible but expensive.
