Im kinda sad I couldnt get my raise this year.
Well, it was bold assumption to assume I would get one when my total time in the department was 3 months out of 12, but I thought they could give me some oncentive, considering my entire team is pretty much way leagies above me in terma of salary.
That means, for me it could be an extra of 2% while for them, 1%.
Still, money went to the richer people and nothing to the poor beta dog.
I am a reasonable man.
If our company tries to match inflation so we don't make
less buying power per year, and then anything above that is merit based, that's fine with me.
But when last year higher ups stated they could not afford that type of minimal 2% increase when I consistently am at the top of our 200 person team performance, and then turn around and give our CEO for our nonprofit organization a 9.5% raise (1 million dollars increase) it really shows where the priorities lie.
So I have stopped going above and beyond this year, and they now get what they pay for.
