You're about to be let go. It's not fair, but I bet it's going to happen anyway. Start looking. > Last year when performance review meeting happened just like every other year, I was told that you are the best engineer in the whole organization. For these years, I have not got a single dollar raise or promotion. Don't stay at a place that isn't interested in keeping your pay in line with inflation. Unless you can reduce your work output to match. Effectively, this was a reduction in salary. > I am a nice person Was this happening: Did you make an "invisible deal" where you do X and magically expect Y to happen without an explicit agreement? It can work sometimes, but it depends on people other than you to be nice, and if you haven't empirically confirmed that, then you'll probably just be taken advantage of. It sounds like you did confirm that, but then things changed. That's not your fault, but it does happen. > I put an extraordinary amount of work effort in the company for 3 years. I Don't work for free anymore.
