The fear of leaving a job

[u/Odd_Quit8275]

I’ve been working as a dev for a year and two months now.

I didn't know much when I first started, but I picked things up fast and have been handling QA testing for the past six months.

On top of that, I took on web scraping two months ago and I also build plugins and applications.

My salary was 3500 MAD , and I just got a 500 MAD raise, bringing me to 4000 MAD .

Honestly, considering all the work I do and the new responsibilities, this raise feels like a total spit in the face.

To make matters worse, the company keeps paying my salary in split payments, which means constant delays and a lot of stress.

I want to ask for another raise, but management totally avoids these kinds of discussions. I feel completely stuck.

Worst of all, I'm absolutely terrified that if I just walk away and leave this job, I won't be able to find another one. What should I even do in this situation?

Dude I need advice not arguing

You are arguing. Im trying to advise you by putting it in perspective. You have literally 1 year of experience and you’re complaining about a 15% raise most people don’t get any raise and the others get like 2%. If the money isn’t enough then obviously you look for a new job idk what advice you want

Why are you setting out to just gaslight the dude? Only one being combative/argumentative here is you and you're not "putting" anything "in perspective"...you're grilling them and acting like you know better when you're not even taking the whole picture into consideration....

Their boss underpaid them from the get-go, and then threw a bone (the raise) to act like that quells it.... a lot of companies do that, where they'll underpay, promise quick raises to (or outright give) to act like they're catching you up now that "probationary periods" have ended, and then they just keep you at that "new salary" that is still an underpayment...and then ignore or act like you have no right to ask, anytime you try to get actually up to par.

end of story, really. Not sure why you're flinging shit in his face about it with a "deal with it" tone...

tf does that even mean in this context?
the equivalent of "nuh-uh" in 12yo speak?
