The employees on my team are, for the most part, not treated well by the company. Shitty practices like categorizing them as 'contractors' and consistently underpaying them. I do what I can, including commiserating with them and letting them know that I appreciate them. I also try to buy them lunch any chance I get - even though I get that it really isn't the same as true compensation. That said, most people on my team have been with the company for over 20 years... I've only been with the company for 6 months. I try, but sometimes find it hard to maintain sympathy when they refuse to seek better employment.
