Month: April 2022

No idea if this any interesting, but I feel baffled. I work in a big IT company the one that is famous for their data bases. We had a kind of specific product that has 2 full time developers. One of them has been coding the product since day 1. The other one is a recent hire (15 months) and is still catching up. Worth to mention that this is a product that is sold, so not freebie. I'm plus another 10 guys are in charge of the support for this product, basically try to fix whatever the customer is facing and if everything fails open a bug with our developers. Long story short our developer star (IC5 if you know what I'm talking about) asked the product owner for a 6% salary increase just to cover inflation, he was denied in the sport saying there was no budget.

Does anyone have experience with this? They said it was for “employment verification”, but that's bs imo. I'm in NC, so its not prohibited to ask for it here but it is not for a financial job either. The job ad was for data entry and order entry. It didn't even mention processing credit card payments. I've worked accounting clerk jobs that didn't ask for this. I feel like if they want to verify I can legally work in this country, a background check would do…or even my passport…SSN…i have so many better documents to prove I can legally work in the US. Like what would my credit scores even do for them?

That is all. It's a good day! Haha

I don't care if I get fired for it eventually. I just want to try out a senior director or some high up job for a bit.
