i might get fired next week for standing up for myself and asking to delay a project until i get a title change and a raise
for projects i’ve already completed
[note, i have NEVER threatened to quit my job. ever]
because i was threatened earlier to be put back to my “old duties”
which is what my title and pay indicates that i am doing anyway
and you know what? i am fine with that.
i trust myself as a professional
i have a facebook, two blogs, twiter, and two webspaces
i’ll launch my own “hire me” campagin if I get fired
and influence young professionals to stop being taking advantage of
we didnt slave through college just to be treated like shit
people say our generation isn’t loyal?
guess what
our employers are not treating us with respect
they view us as expendable
why do we keep putting up with it?
Way to go Mary! Hopefully they will feel bad about screwing you over and give you a raise. At the very least, hopefully they'll feel bad about having been caught trying to screw you over.
