Yes, it was the same when I got there, but I look at most things skeptically especially when they pour on the sugars heavily as they did when I arrived.

The only move is to hold onto your job until you find something at an organization that values your work and will pay you for moving the dial.

Recalibrate your level of effort
Seek equilibrium in work efforts and rewards. Make changes to your approach to regain balance.
Paychecks stay fairly consistent, but thanks to inflation and more RTO days you’re losing money and donating time. Fun!
