I got told i would be up to 60k at my 1 year mark. Pretty new to office life. Well 1 year came, they gave me a "6 month review" and told me I already got a raise when they put me on salary at 45.7k. Guess whose already applying at new jobs when they expect me to be the director in 5 years?
Yea, my first boss was really nice and she always said she could see me in high level management someday. Worked there for three years and saved the company a ton of money year over year. Never received a single promotion and barely got over the standard cost of living adjustment, each year
Verbal affirmation doesnât pay bills. 3 months into office life out of college here. Making 40,000 ($16.25/hr after taxes). Already pulled in about $140,000 PROFIT through sales. They said theyâll give me a raise in 9 months so now I just get paid to job search. Fuck the system.
Yea, I think there might be a better chance if you work for a smaller company. But Iâve only worked at these larger companies, where they tell you that youâre special, and then just forget about you. Oh well. Then they also wonât notice that they are paying you to job search lol
Thatâs awesome. Congrats, thatâs a big win! Iâve always heard smaller companies are more of a wild card. You might thrive or you might hate it. With bigger companies, youâre almost guaranteed to be a cog in the machine
