a girl is smiling in front of the camera, not directly looking at it. in front of her is a big cake. the text on her reads, “PM showing off latest features”
just on the left and a little behind is a guy, out of focus, blankly staring at the cake. the text on him reads, “dev getting 0 credit”
I prefer my accolades in the form of bonus cheques. I’ve got a git history for anyone else that matters
they rejected my request for raise because “you already are amongst the ones with highest percentage raise in the past”(which is in single digit, BTW). meanwhile peers who do nothing all day are more paid.
i’m not jealous. just feel like I’m underpaid and overworked
Then find another company and negotiate a salary you should be on. Maybe add on a bit more so that can negotiate you down to what you want. Ignore the question of how much you are on as much as possible. Answer with “I am looking for £x”.
And if it comes down to how much you’re making now, simply lie.
