I agree that it sucks that is is this way, and that many of us would rather companies actually kept up with market rate without us having to beat them over the head constantly.
We live in a world that, in this case, performs far less than ideally. Constraining your own behavior to naive, idealized boundaries seems ludicrous.
In other words, do not feel bad about being "that guy", because that guy is all of us. If your employer will not adjust your compensation fairly, then do head off to greener pastures. This whole shame-game with "disloyalty" is just a ruse to make you accept a grossly below-market rate for your work.
- jordan0day 15y agoI agree completely. This is the world we live in, and you should not feel bad for asking to be paid what you deserve. That said, it's hard not to have emotional ties to your work, especially if you're friendly with the people you work with. I was just trying to explain how I presumed engtech was feeling, since peteretep didn't seem to understand.
