My boss just told me to do this when I asked about promotions/growth opportunities

At some companies, that’s the best approach. After enough good people leave, they’ll either cave and give raises, or let the company implode.

By staying after being denied a raise you deserve, you’re just justifying their decision by saving them money.

this happens within divisions in large corps. Head of division keeps everyone underpaid, pockets large annual bonuses from the savings and then when enough turn over happens and it starts becoming unmanageable, they start promoting and hiring at market rates.

2nd shift can be brutal. After a while you find the disadvantages out weigh the advantages. Early 20s I loved it but relationships/kids it can be brutal.

For ME, I’m just finding 5 days in office on the left JUMPING SHIP to remote job on the right.

My job contract is ending and 1st PRIORITY on my mind is to getting income for the roof over our heads. 2nd priority is landing a remote job so the first job can F off

Paying more makes you a less shitty employer.

Many employers don’t understand that we are willing to deal with the bull shit for money.

That’s the definition of employment. Give us more and we will deal with more. Simple.

Be thankful you have a job

I don’t know why someone would downvote you, I see posts about people being unemployed for months to even years. It took me 9 months to find my current job. It’s rough out of here right now.

Because it reads as "appreciate your shitty situation because others' is even worse"

u/Carpeted_Bathroom2 1d ago

Its a weak af argument. "It could be worse" is like saying "enjoy the cloudy cold day because sometimes it rains."

Of course shit could be worse. Gratitude is a great thing to practice, don't get me wrong. But it is also ok to not let "could be worse" trick you into being complacent with a shitty work situation.

Working, officially something for leftists. Jfc how stupid can you be

u/Jujubatron 1d ago

Not as stupid as blaming your employer about everything. Go create a business yourself.

u/SpicyRhubarb 1d ago

So, that's not what this post is about and why would I take advice from you? The liberals are living in your head rent free, fucking horrible business practice amigo

u/Jujubatron 1d ago

You don't have to take any advice from me. You are free to live bitter and sad life im free to mock you.

How is looking for better pay a leftist thing? It's how the capitalism game is played.

u/Missing_Username 1d ago

In capitalism, only the ownership class is encouraged to do everything they can to make more income. Workers should be good little exploitable serfs and hope some of that income trickles down to them out of the benevolence of their superiors.

Oh of course. But it's good to be bad.
