    You are responsible for negotiating your compensation. You allow yourself to be paid peanuts.

        For you, absolutely. With such a defeatist attitude there’s no possibility of advancing. It appears you don’t know how to negotiate which would explain the acceptance of peanuts.

          Only good negotiators deserve fair compensation, gotcha.

            Well there wasn’t any need to twist what I said into some new statement, but you chose to anyway. Why, what purpose did that serve you?

            Look, you can always walk away from a shit deal. No one is being forced to accept low wages, but as long as people do it will always be a thing. If you want out of that pool, do something to get out of it.

        There are always jobs elsewhere, though it’s hard to see that for those who are complacent. I could apply for a job that would give me a 200k/yr raise, but I don’t because I enjoy where I work and I believe the job I’m working at now will benefit me in the long run.
