That's not a shitpost, that's a documentary of life for the past few years.
Which technically, is very shitty.
Outdated image. He's already in the car and you're struggling to keep him from killing you.
Or in my case, he's already killed me and making modern art out of my intestines.
Insert as applicable: He's inside (my parent's house/the multi income rental/carboard box fortress)!
it smells funny in there
no it doesn't
Some memes are funny and sad at the same time. I feel you, OP.
Me irl. God it sucks.
It is pretty awful these days...
He isn't just gaining. He's closing the gap faster and faster.
Explains why my Prozac feels like it isn’t working these days.
Anyone got wage negotiation advice?
I just know you’re better off quietly looking for new employment before you ask your employer, so you have something lined up. Highly depends what your job is though.
Either you leave or you negotiate together with a union.
Maybe it‘s cause I‘m a woman or maybe I‘m too stupid, but I read 3 negotiation books and tried multiple times with all I had learned and despite years of stellar performance reviews got fuck all (well like 1-2% twice in 2 years at 10% inflation lmao which felt like an insult).
Leaving for another job is what finally helped me out to get the 20% I desperately needed after that.
Being a woman definitely doesn't help, since women are massively undervalued in the workplace. But for everyone, leaving for a new job is what makes pay go up. Companies have twice the budget for new hires as they do for internal pay raises/promotions.
I manage a small group and the thing is I don't have the power to give anyone who reports to me a raise. I have to go above me. What I would like is to have an email from you that says what amount you want that way I know exactly what amount to ask for. I will stand up for you, I am terrified of you leaving, give me what I need to get you what you need. I can usually get my guys about 5% without issue.
Likewise when the year is up I send an email to my manager plainly stating what I want my salary to go to.
