minus-squareTubularTittyFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·edit-24 days agoNo. Yearly salary discussions are only common for highly paid professionals. You must be one. Most people are lucky to get a COL raise each year. Many do not.
minus-squareTja@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·4 days agoI am now, but 20 years ago I wasn’t and I still had my yearly performance review and talked to my boss about raises.
minus-squareTubularTittyFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agomost folks don’t have as blessed a career path as yours is. most people get nothing until they move companies.
minus-squareTja@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoIt’s not about getting a raise, it’s about asking for it. Anecdotally, my biggest raises were also switching jobs, but that’s not the point i (or the meme) was making.
minus-squareSoftestSapphic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-23 days agoSo you got a raise every year to either match or outpace the rate of inflation? Most performance reviews I have had my desire for more pay was dismissed. And they did that because they knew I couldn’t easily find something better
minus-squareTja@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·3 days agoI don’t think my raises are relevant, the point is that nobody lost their mind. Did they lose their mind in your performance reviews?
minus-squareSoftestSapphic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·3 days agoYeah lol If they fucking start code switching and saying stupid shit to dismiss you for a reasonable request then yeah that is not of sound mind.
