It’s not like I didn’t know, but it’s annual review time and I feel some sort of way.
CEO sent out an email a few weeks ago gloating about our $6.1 billion in profit in 2022.
I just earned a promotion and the highest rating in my department. I kicked ass all year, due in no small part to actually liking what I do, and what’s my thanks? An extra $2140.00 a year, for a paltry $43,700 annually. Comes out to about 80-ish a pay check or so, pre-tax.
Apparently I’m supposed to be grateful that I also get a 401k, vacation and holidays, and absence days that I’ll get written up for using all of. Because my “total compensation” is more than just my salary.
This is the same company and department that wants me to train the incoming offshore people that are supposed to “supplement” our department, and I’m very sure I’ll be telling them (professionally) to shove that idea once I figure out how. I do very much like what I do and my immediate manager is the best I’ve ever worked for. I’m not sure I really want to leave, but this entire morning has just been an insult.
