I just need to rant a little.
I had my yearly review yesterday. My supervisors had only good things to say. I mean serious praise, thanking me for how how well managed my files are and how smoothly and quickly my close outs are done. Meeting ends and I get my letter with my raise figures
2.86%
Not even fucking 3% which is still garbage but at least it's the norm. I am worth less then the standard 3%.
And the worst part is I already know if I go anywhere else it'll be just as bad. I've already reached out to others in my field and there are no greener grounds. Quitting just isn't an option, I have a mortgage and an injured husband out on disability.
I'm 42 years old and the idea of living this way for over 20 more years is debilitating.
