I’ve been talking to my direct manager about a possible promotion for a year now and it keeps getting pushed back. And every time we talk about it, or a raise during our yearly raise, he brings up how lucky I am that I don’t have a mortgage or kids to pay for so I have more disposable income come at my salary range.
Bro, at this rate I’m never going to be able to afford fucking kids or a house. Stop talking about that. I live in one of the highest COL cities in the country and my bosses area is much much lower. So how about HES lucky not to have to pay so much for rent and utilities and fucking transportation, not even including the city, state and federal taxes heaped on me because of my zip.
It sucks cause outside of comments like this I really like my boss, he’s been super good to me. But I’m the only designer and every time I take vacation he visibly panics a little about what to do with the work I’ll leave. He never ever says no, of course, but the panic also doesn’t work on me lol so maybe just pay me more buddy. What’s he gonna do if I fully leave?
