    By giving you a dry promotion, it becomes easier to give you a fat raise during the compensation review season.

    Easier for who? And how exactly? The idea that some schedule is stopping corporate from giving the lowly worker a raise becomes completely laughable when you see how they treat their top management, and has no validity either way - they make the rules, their hands are never tied by this kind of bullshit.

    You’re not being “contrarian”, you’re just regurgitating corporate propaganda, actively acting against your own interests by swallowing any of it, and serving them by repeating it to us as if it has any legitimacy.

      But at the end of the day, this is how it is. What are you going to do, quit? The only thing to do is to accept the “dry promotion” and begin searching for a new job if you don’t like it. Anything else is just complaining because no one person can fix it.

        If they need the work done they should pay for it to be done.

        We can continue to call it out for the bullshit it is. Name and shame (after you’ve secured a new position for yourself), educate others not to fall for this without getting every single thing in writing. Help with resumes, stick up for your coworkers and help them recognize their worth. This system works because it relies on people keeping quiet and constantly competing with their peers. By all means, put your mask on before assisting others, but we don’t have to take this alone or laying down.
