people do not quit jobs, they quit managers and I personally would like to quit some coworkers.

Basically the manager says in public that I’m good and passionate about the job but privately she writes the opposite. She never talked to me about what I need to improve, if anything. And then has the gall to tell me to trust her if I want to open up to her. Two faced, not to trust.

I only found out when another manager read to me what she wrote about me.

I was never good at playing office politics. FWIW I don’t like the job, I do it because I need money and I’m good at it.

    Comments like yours remind me why I’m so damn lucky and grateful for my job…

    In February I’ll have been there 10 years, and my salary is almost 150% more than when I started (which was above $50k for context).

    I’ve gotten annual ~3% “raises” each year, as well as one role change (+11%), two promotions (+25% and +13%), and a raise I pushed for (+12%). The first promotion, my boss literally called me on a Tuesday and said I had a new title and my raise was effective as of the Saturday before.

    I share this to remind people these kinds of companies do exist, even if they’re the exception.

      I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I got a >100% in 3 years from a >50k by switching companies. That being said I don’t think I would change my current job for a different one, if I ever get made a significantly higher offer elsewhere I’m more likely to use it as leverage to get a similar raise here, so I can definitely understand the not wanting to leave a given company.
