    Best to know your own market value and argue for that. Know how much you make and net for the company will give you an idea of your own value.

    If your plan to increase your rate of pay is to whine that someone else has more or is more valuable, your argument will fall on deaf ears. Deaf fairly.

    Go in and say “I’m worth this much, and it is because i make the company this much money and deserve this share of it” instead of “I’m worth this much because this other person is”

    Almost no one who has ever demanded a raise because their colleague makes more than them has ever gotten that raise.


  • Fair enough, to me it shouldn’t matter. I may make more than someone else in my position because I command vast experience and capabilities, but may earn less than someone else who is better still than I am.

    When I was a bit younger and more vindictive I’d like to try and talk to people about it. But most people don’t want to tell anyone how much they make foe the same reason.

    You have the right and should have the right to discuss your pay, but that doesn’t mean that anyone who doesn’t want to is a shill.

    Lol, just because they’ve already been stolen from me and used for that stuff doesn’t mean I should stop using it.

    I’m tired of paying more in taxes than people like you even gross every year just to be told I need to give it to you because unlike me, you were too lazy to pull yourself out of the gutter.

    I was raised in extreme poverty. And now that I put in the work to get out of it every mfer with no drive or work ethic wants to bring me back down. I spent half my adult life working in homeless shelters doing real work to make a real difference instead of sitting behind my computer crying and whining.

    Fuck Corp tax. Fuck social tax. And fuck your erroneous assumptions about me.
