Antiwork

I've been working at this company for over 10 years. Based on annual reviews, I have consistently outperformed my peers for the last 8 of those 10, despite increasing responsibilities. I'm described by my management as a “shining star” performer. And, during my review this week, my boss told me I was underpaid compared to my peers by a significant amount. But that there's nothing they can do about raising my pay because HR won't allow it. This week, the company announced they had made record revenues and profits. They congratulated the stockholders. They thanked their employees. I received a 4.5% raise to base pay. However, a significant part of our income comes from annual bonuses. They cut our bonuses by 25%.

I'm more the person who deals with repairs, store set ups contract negotiations, and making sure everything runs smoothly. The job has been long hours, but the pay has been good. Also I typically get left alone and I don't mind the long hours because I like to keep busy anyway. ​ But the last couple of years things have changed. The boss hired a sales manager 5 years ago and over time things have changed. Then covid happened and things really changed. The lower staff got paid more to stay, the sales manager got to work from home to “protect him”. Then I found out he was getting paid more than me. Not…
