Dear Honey Bucket….
In this HPD season, I can without remorse say that the effort I put into my job in 2020 was commensurate with the Merit increase that I received this year.
I have silently watched as many better, brighter and more dedicated employees received their walking papers. I have worked for a boss who has no clue as to how much, or how little work I am capable of producing in any given year.
While you can dismiss this as ramblings of a burned-out employee, I was not always this way. In the beginning, I gave the company 110% every day. But after a few years of raises that do not keep up with inflation, lack of growth opportunities and the ever-looming furloughs and Riffs, I am done with this place.
With the New Year, my resolution for 2021 is to find new employment. But until then, I will give you the minimum.
You chose poorly in who you Riffed last year. When the next round of Riffs hit, I will gladly accept my fate, take my severance and move on to the next chapter….
