I will keep it short. I was a software engineer at a bank for 4 years. For four years I never got a raise.
This year my manager told me he finally got me a raise in an upbeat voice!
Before he revealed the documents – he told me, now it’s not much but maybe next year we can get an even larger raise for you!
He handed over the document and, well, the raise was for $10.
Not $10/hour. Not $10/ week. Not even $10 per month.
$10 per year.
I quit.
