Found out my company charges clients for my time 10x my pay

Work in consulting. Asked for a raise a while ago and was denied. Comp is VERY low – way under market. Just saw that they’re charging clients almost $200/hr of my time while they pay me under $25/hour. I’m literally suffering because of inflation while the execs come into the office in their brand new cars and go on their $20k+ vacations… Edit: i also saw the rate including overhead cost (so how much I cost to the business) and it’s around $75/hr

Greek PM Mitsotakis: “I hear often whining [from employers] saying ‘I can’t find employees’, my answer; pay more and you’ll find.”. I am so happy by this statement! He is so fucking based.

Celebrating the 1 year anniversary of the email that got me fired (happily). Sent to my org of 270 people including my VP and SVP, calling them out on their bullshit. Same day I was interviewed by Corp. Investigations for an ethics complaint that our VP was directing contracts to a close friend.

I'm a Medical Assistant. I've been working as one for over 15 years now. I'm currently unemployed, long story, and actively interviewing. Been reading this sub for a few months and this has really built my confidence. I just left 2 job interviews. 1 in person and 1 phone. In person left me waiting 26 minutes in the lobby. Once we went to the back they, the Supervisors (?), asked a few basic questions then proceeded to say how they noticed on my application I was asking for $20 but they were only offering $16. (Mind you I live in Southern California) I asked if this was negotiable since their ad on Indeed stated a range of $16-20 and they said “No”. I then replied I couldn't work for that little and I was asking for $20 like it said and that I have a mortgage and kids. I also…
