Generally, every American who makes less money than they deserve, has two choices:
(1) Find a way to make more money.
(2) Appeal to the sense of fairness to get sympathy from the community.
Sadly, according to US federal law (4 U.S.C. §§ 888), anyone who earned a total compensation in excess of 7 times national average individual median income, loses the right to option (2). Any attempt to exercise it will result in penalties such as heavy downvoting and ridicule on social media.
If not for these harsh legal restrictions, I would have offered you my very sincere sympathy and words of support.
The good news is that with your fast career progression at Amazon, and willingness to work hard, you will likely significantly increase your compensation when you enter the job market again.
- anticensor 8y agoIn the US, one earning more than 7 times national average income cannot accept gifts at all? Have I read right? "4 USC 888" does not exist.
- aaron_oxenrider 8y agoIt's a joke using a very dry sense of humor. The mix of cultures on this site make that hard to pick out at times but this one is wholly a joke. As you found, that is not law.
- _cs2017_ 8y agoI didn't say anything about gifts, sorry for any confusion. Please feel free to send gifts! By the way, I also happily accept gifts myself :)
- anticensor 8y agoI refuse all kinds of gifts, except for information and knowledge material, from anyone except my immediate family. I also do not gift anyone who may have a business or personal relationship with me now or any time in the future.
