crowbar jones official 🐦Work has been so bonkers, but! I'm getting a raaaise! Like a real heckin' raise! Like a 20% hourly rate increase + more hours! The past 6 months of 'aaaaagh' are actually going to pay off! :D
being in the nonprofit world, i've had a lot of experience kicking ass at a job, only to watch the person after me start out making significantly more (usually with less experience / missing skills, which *I* get to train them on), which is like, good, for them, they should get paid! but also, why couldn't *I* get paid?
Getting a "you've exceeded expectations" at a 6-month review is normal (I'm good at what I do; it's like, the only area where I can say that comfortably, but I am),
having that be followed-up with "so we're significantly increasing your pay"??? Absurd. Unthinkable. SO COOL.
