Corporate whore

Had my review at work finally. My year mark was over a month ago, but certain top people do not like to part with money and hold off things like this for as long as possible. I received the highest ratings on all my work and all the dimensions of interest. Now it is up to the top people with how I should be compensated, and hopefully not screwed again.

When I first took the job, they could screw me because I was fresh out of grad school. Now, with the required “real world” experience and advanced degree, the pendulum has shifted. I am hoping for a title change (since I already do the work beyond my position) and a decent pay increase. I believe the highest I can get is 10%, which I really hate because 10% on crap is still crap. I feel that when you make under a certain amount, we should be talking about changes in tax brackets rather than petty percentages.
