Ryan the Design Lion: And yeah, it’s super privileged to be talking about that kind of raise. And yet here I am, generally trying to negotiate at least that when I change jobs, because I’m so exhausted and I want to be able to maybe retire someday and maybe travel in the meantime and I owe so much student loans.

Dell gave employees an ultimatum to return to office some of the week or accept they were never eligible for a promotion ever again. Half the employees shrugged and stayed remote. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024...

Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else”arstechnica.com Workers stayed remote even when told they could no longer be promoted.

promotions now are like 60% more work and responsibility for an extra 10k a year no thanks

Whoa, whoa, WHOA!! Hold da phone, hooool da PHONE!!! At 10% (insanely good) that's 100k base salary! Where are YOU working that you get 10k raise, I'll take that job so fast I'll leave a dust devil in my wake!

I’ve taken this offer a few times. I’ve also gone some long stretches either unemployed or poor. It can definitely be shitty to have that high responsibility. I have that now. But it’s also nicer to be able to afford things than not. And now I’m so stressed but I always have groceries.
