Well they didnt give raises last year bc of covid. Fine whatever. Found out a guy at my work started at the beginning of the pandemic started out 5k more than me and got a full 3% raise. Me? 2.5% and still make way less. I have more experience than this guy and i was only in the position a year prior. I do way more and also put in way more hours. We have the same degree from the same school, same job title and around the same age. Same schooling with more experience and involved in way more making less than this guy. Im livid. Before i found out hownuch he made i asked for 10% and was told thats not possible but if i got what i asked for, id still be making 950 less than this guy after his 3% raise. Ive had no complaints and rarely any mistakes. I got shafted royally. Any suggestions?

They keep you scared with bridges. Keep building new ones, strong ones.

My hobby is watching my bridges burn.(as some are 100% worth burning). Think they care about your bridge? Nope.

Be strong brother. You are a sovereign and independent stud, not a weak pushover.

Wow. A new approach to things. I like it. True words of inspiration. Thank you so much.

They fucked you over and are lying about raises for you, why do you think this bridge is worth keeping? They obviously don't appreciate you and the odds of them being a great reference are low.

I have burned many bridges, and moved many times. I am in a very good place now, no regrets. Build a new bridge. Consider self-employment, moving, and/or a totally new career. You ain't gettin any younger.
