Hello Antiwork
I have been actively reading up on posts in this subreddit and have seen many of your accomplishments. How corporations and leadership screws talent on daily basis. No one is your friend/family in work culture, sadly I learned that too late.
Recently got hired at company promised annual raise and 10% bonus.
Found out march this year during performance meeting that there is no merit increase, company stopped that years ago and annual bonus is tied to my performance and company performance which can fluctuate, so 10% is not guaranteed. Only reason I took this job was due to yearly merit increase and the ability to wfh after 13 yrs of back breaking commute.
I am annoyed as hell and don’t know how to go from here, my motivation to perform has hit rock bottom knowing the effort I’m gonna put in wont amount to the reward I’m gonna get given I have already been lied to. And its a bit insulting to my credentials that they lowballed me on offer too.
What are my choices here? Start looking for another job given its only been 5mths? Stick it out for 2 years and keep looking?
Appreciate the help and insight on this and thanks for listening.
