Antiwork

Right out of college I got a contracting position. I remember being super excited about having a foot in the door. After about 6 months I got my first salaried position in the company for a different team. It was an entry level position but the culture made it “seem” like you had the capability of moving up. My first clue something wasn’t right was 2 weeks later at the end of my shift – my manager and the director pulled me into an office. I was freaking out, but now I believe the whole thing was for intimidation. Aparently I got offered more money for the position than I should have, and they wanted to ‘encourage’ me not to share my salary with other employees, and that I wouldn’t receive raises (or they would be minuscule) for the first couple years until all the other salaried entry level employees…
