Quit my job during annual review discussion

Earlier this year I was on a good path and was assured I am to get a promotion which entailed better compensation and benefits, which never happened due to unexplained to me reasons. I decided to suck it up and continue grinding until the annual review cycle finished. During the discussion where I got to find out my results I was told that I am unfit for the promotion and I will only be getting a 3% increase in terms of salary which doesn't even match the inflation happening in my country at all. I briefly interrupted my manager to let him know I am quiting, excused myself out of the Zoom call and drafted my letter of resignation. Still had to do my 1 month notice period, needles to say there was friction. During that time I found a job that pays double what I was making with better…

I’m sick of “recruiters” contacting me on LinkedIni interested in my background and when I ask for pay information they want me to complete an application! Like WTF?

Basically the titles says it all, like madam, I don’t want to be rude but please if you’re the one contacting me don’t make me work to get the most important detail of your “great opportunity”. I’m sick of it, is like if they want to get applications and have no other tactics. Grrrrrr!

How to deal with a less than desired paycheck?

So, few months ago I accepted an offer to move to Germany to start working in a big company. At the time, they offered me a contract and, since I don’t have any experience and knowledge about the country and the job market, I accepted the offer so they also be supporting me with visa and moving things. But right now, I started realizing that I’m kind of underpaid since I got to know some of my colleagues has less experience and are also less educated in the field I work but even than earns more or almost the same. So far, I’m trapped in this situation and trying to figure out how I can get out of this. I don’t want to change jobs right now but I also feel very disgusted to have accepted this offer having a strange feeling that the company took advantage on me for…

Inquiry about good places to work post-grad that actually treat their employees like people?

I'm a current college senior that has been really anxious about post-grad jobs, considering how terrible the corporate world sounds and how desperately I want something that is flexible and remote. I know most of us on here do have to have jobs to get by, and was wondering if anyone had recommendations for places they've had good experiences with?

Why are people Angry at Six figure earners here?

Like I understand where these people are coming from, or I can see their point. But if I was smart enough to get a collage or even a uni graduation, I'd be asking for 100,000 to 250,000 yearly. We should be encouraging people to be more educated and also fix the god damn education system.
