it is low. over the course of my career I have witnessed skilled people earn less and less, almost always for the sake of "shareholder value" (more generally called "profit" at smaller places) and it is sickening.
when I was very young, one could be promoted simply by demonstrating a willingness to learn and be better when others were not. now, if you are not doing at least that, you are not considered for a raise.
last year I got a perfect yearly evaluation, and a 0.6% raise, which equaled inflation for the same year.
a raise is supposed to be a raise. a reward. incentive to continue the good work.
it used to be that if you could perform well that you were rewarded. now, if you perform well, you stay afloat. that's it.
I really hate this planet because of things like this. if humans were a decent species, money would not work it's way toward people who already have more.
honestly, I can't wait to be done with this life. the black abyss is better than working harder than anyone else simply to keep your head above water.
