I got my review today from work. It wasn’t much different from last year’s review.
I again got the highest number one can realistically receive with the number two. Does this mean I will get a really big pay raise? Probably not. Sometimes I feel they don’t compensate me for what I really do for the company. Are they going to feel bad for me because I don’t get compensated as much as I feel I should? Probably not.
Anybody starting to notice a pattern here?
I should be making at least 50% more than I do now… Is that so hard to do? Apparently it is.

I don’t feel sorry for you, but I sympathize. You’re amazing at what you do and deserve twice as much. We’ve learned these last few years that the up-hill battle to “grown up” is more difficult than most imagine. But I’m very proud of you for the strides you’ve made and the tremendous dedication you’ve made to both work and school.
You’ve got to remember a few things that I struggle to continually remind myself:
- it could always be much, much worse
- you’re getting paid in experience as well (don’t tell them that)
- not all you have to be proud of includes any relation to money or work
(just imagine if your life was lacking in other ways and you still worked
like a dog)
- you’ve got a partner in this that will always love you and support you.
you’ll never be alone. (because they love you very much)
