When you bust your ass all year for that great review and much needed raise…only to go in for your evaluation and be told, “Great job! Unfortunately due to budget cuts and corporate policy, we can only give you a 1.5% raise, but you’re welcome!”
Don’t tell them, but remember that.
Remember that regardless of the work you give them, they’re only paying you 1.5% more. And that’s not even factoring in informationinflation.
At the most generous, you should only give them 1.5% more productivity than it takes to not get fired. If you look at it based on value…the value of your time and experience and productivity against the purchasing power of your take home pay… you’re getting a pay cut vs inflation as their way of thanking you.
As such, cut your productivity, attention to detail, reliability, and shits given by the same amount as the purchasing power you’re earning.
They call it quiet quitting, but in reality it’s the market economy working both ways. If they’re buying less from you, give them less.
Hear hear!
