    This is a symptom of jobs undervaluing good workers…

    If working harder gets you no raise, then why would anyone work harder than they need to?

      I’ve discovered this at my current job. I worked tons of unpaid overtime (I’m salary), did everything I could get my hands on, I was getting compliments from upper management, my reviews were stellar, etc, etc, and my raise was 3%. My rent went up more than my paycheck did. After that, I started doing only the bare minimum. Some days I even play some Xbox in the afternoon to kill time. My latest review was excellent, and I got a 5% raise. They can go fuck themselves. I’m not going to work any harder for this company than I absolutely need to. Working less got me a bigger raise.

        I’ve noticed with each increase in my income, the work has gotten easier and easier to do. The opposite result of what I have been told to expect. We have nothing in common with a meritocracy.

        Food for thought: I bet you were happier when you were working less and taking time. Good things (career wise) seem to find happy people.

      And then they call it “quiet quitting”. Fuck em.

      This exactly. I work at 40% because any faster irritates my supervisors.
