Also to ensure no slavery, young people dont get married and dont get a girl pregnant, make sure she takes the birth control pill daily in front of you and both wear protection. You will just condemn your new child to increasing poverty and freedomless slavery and these control/money/job trends worsen.

i used to work at a nice small company who was aware of and actively encouraged current employees to use their company as a stepping stone and seek better opportunities as they knew they could not provide the top pays and benefits as fortune 500 companies could. instead of trying to deny the inevitable, they actively embraced it and worked around the expectation that employees would be leaving after 1-2 years. made everyone's lives easier all around

[@nopedefinitelynotnahthatsnotme]

Sorry but that doesn't sound better. Doesn't matter if companies are "honest" or fake, the end result is the same, they pay you poorly and hope you can't find another better job so they get to keep their cheap labour as long as possible. I've had my boss laugh about how little money he pays people, doesn't mean I respect him for being an "honest" douchebag.

[@sentralorigin]

@@nopedefinitelynotnahthatsnotme what do you suggest as an alternative then? if a company only makes $50k/year and can only afford to pay 1 employee $30k/year, do you expect the owner to give their 1 employee more than what the owner makes from their own company just because $30k is too little? small companies pay their employees what they can. it's a different situation for larger companies making millions and paying their employees the same amount as a company that only makes $50k a year.

Pro tip: if inflation is 3% to 4% (practically it can be above 10% as shown by truflation data stats) and you get a salary raise for the same 3% to 4%, you still lose money. Each of those dollars are paying a higher tax rate than your salary before that increase. Tax brackets tend to conveniently stagnate and don’t remotely increase at the same rate as inflation. Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell and many economists have explained over the decades how governments use inflation to get deeper into your pockets, from 5% average taxes in the 1920s to 40%+. Then add to that the 15% of each buy/sales transaction with the surviving $ dollars after all that.

Great advice Josh!

I think this isn’t good advice for these reasons: 1- If you’re not actually unhappy with your position or salary don’t constantly applying for jobs and taking interviews is very demanding, it isn’t worth “knowing that the market wants”. 2- You will star feeling tired and doing poorly at your job because you’ll have to do these interviews during working hours (they always are) 3- that “network” will only be good for sending in your CV to dozens of those emails and looking desperate
