Month: January 2023

He just let me in on how much he makes monthly and it’s about $16,000 usd a month. I’m doing at least 50% if not more work than him, and I’m making around $2,900 a month? How do I go about asking for a raise? I know he doesn’t have anyone to replace me and I know that I’m worth at least $4000 a month. I don’t know how to go about asking him.. any advice?

This may not be directly related to antiwork, but it's income tax related, which comes from working. Nonetheless, I just need to rant about taxes. Last year, I changed jobs twice, with a brief contract stint in-between. My income increased by a lot compared to the job I had at the beginning of the year. My husband has been at the same job for about two years and also gets paid well. Every year, for the last four years at least, we have gone from getting a refund to owing. We owed a lot for 2021, but that pales in comparison to 2022! I don't understand it. My husband used TurboTax to see what our tax situation is. We plan to actually see a tax preparer because idk if what TurboTax is saying is correct. Right now, we owe over $4k!! It's not enough that 22% of my pay gets…

I’m going to keep it short and sweet, just has to vent. I work for a very small municipality in southern Canada, and I can’t even afford to live here. I am looking for places to live up to an hour away because the TOWN I WORK FOR DOESN’T PAY ENOUGH TO HAVE A STABLE LIFE INSIDE THE TOWN.
