  • Ah, good old capitalism apologia. I’m not sure the billionaires need your fervent protection, but whatever helps you sleep at night.

    Also if you think you will see any of the profits from that better job, that’s quite humorous. You will, at most, get a tiny raise that isn’t even comparable to the amount your boss puts in their pocket. Maybe a pizza party.


  • Average salary (that is, the mean) isn’t that good of a metric even if you account for region, industry and so on, because just one outlier can easily skew your entire statistics. Median is much more useful in that regard.

    Source: me, someone who writes tools for processing and gathering large amounts of confidential employee data, including salaries of wide range of companies across multiple countries.

















  • If your boss doesn’t trust you to do your job and be accountable unless they see your face, they might be bad at their job (which is organising workflow in a way that facilitates high productivity of their employees). And if they don’t trust you to care, they’re not paying you enough.

    I understand that people can’t always change their job immediately, but these micromanagement issues can be red flags towards bigger issues with your workplace. Perhaps you should consider joining a union or another similar organization that protects worker rights.
