I'll try to be brief in my little rant. I've Just finished the first round of negotiations with my director boss regarding working conditions (+20% salary, 20->25 vac. days, 1 day p week WFH) and he is not even a little aware that I am not actually negotiating, but demanding. My demands are not even that outrageous in this f*** up world! You should've seen all the pathetic negotiating tactics that these people try to use and convince you to accept less. I was smiling so much inside of me and pitying him just because he doesn't want to give me more of the owners money. For what? For higher bonuses so he can keep his over the top luxury lifestyle? F him 🙂
I hold all the cards because I am a team leader of 5, but only I can do all the key tasks, while others are aware of very small number of specifics required for the job. I don't even want to go into his incompetent leadership and borderline psychopathic attitude. I have saved up enough to be without a job for a while and I don't feel pressured to accept less. I slightly even hope that he does not accept my demands as my potential resignation will be sent with so much happiness.
I hope that many of you will be in a similar position as me because it is a godsend to know your worth and not give in. Keep on grinding!
