I think more people are wising up and doing the ROI on unpaid overtime.
Thankfully I did it within my first few years in the workforce, I worked my butt off for a project, got a lot of praise but a disappointing bonus, calculated my overall rate per hour and realized I was being stooged.
In the following year my first performance review was bad, I just presented the numbers and my manager was pretty much unable to counter my argument other than risking my scope for promotions.
I just flat out stated I've proven I can work hard, promote me first, then I go back to that output.
TLDR; people now see through corporate bullshit, fuck you pay me.
- metadat 4y agoDid they promote you? IME, they generally stick to the original plan of not promoting people.
- nikau 4y agoNope, but there was an unwritten understanding between me and my manager and no unrealistic expectations thereafter. The comp was ok and I had good work life balance so I stuck around.
