Well ya know how the economy is RECORD PROFITS things are really tight all over RECORD PROFITS and we all have to make sacrifices RECORD PROFITS for the good of the company
Nah. Instead of inflation being corporations stealing my purchasing power, it's now the value of my labor being inflated so the same wage buys less work.
I have that job now. It's OK. I miss developing my skillset, being on a cutting edge, having meetings even. I've automated the tiny bits of my job away. So I do a side job (well, a couple) and read novels in my time at work, today I sat in the park over an hour just reading a book his afternoon.
Hoping to get my own business going again so I can sit at my house all day instead tho
That entirely depends on the management structure. I took on extra projects when I first started my career in IT as a help desk tech, and it got me promoted to an engineer level position in a pretty esoteric field in under 2 years.
But I knew the IT director liked to hire from within, and my boss liked to brag to him about the team, so I knew putting in the effort would pay off. I was also basically treating the job as a paid internship.
You just have to be able to read the room, which admittedly can take a bit in larger companies.
Definitely me this year. In lieu of an hourly rate, they did provide a bonus. No clue how they calculate the #.
Sure as shit isn't the value of an hourly bump. I've already worked a lot of OT this year to pay for vacations. I'm positive they don't base the bonus on potential earning. Assholes. My work effort has definitely slowed.

Denied a raise for the third year in a row. Job market is absolute dogshit. Do just enough to not get in trouble and keep my head down.

Always work the minimum amount that doesn’t get you fired.
