Cont: 4. I'm not stagnating whatsoever, but it's getting harder and harder to ignore these issues. It's getting harder and harder to just think about my wellbeing and my project, and simply ignore the bigger picture. That is, the company tries to keep their employees at a certain average level. Don't get too good though, as they won't be able to pay you for that. So really good people just leave. So, what would you do in my situation. I can tell you that i'm going to stay for a little longer to make sure that the project is rock solid and stable. But I feel like the really good engineers are somewhere else and the temptation of a higher pay is getting stronger. I really want to continue to work on this project, but how do I convince the manager(whose only real management was to give me a hard deadline) that I've done the equivalent work of a few people, and the current benefits are not enough. Thank you.
