What do you mean by oddly specific? $197,304.11 is an oddly specific amount. Are you saying that instead of "$195-200k?"

Help! I just don’t understand the logic. I was making 25% less than the average at my title in my market on the low-end of the pay scale.

I got a salary adjustment, but of course I’m still 10% underpaid. I asked if I am good for a merit as a high performer this summer — they said no, since I got a salary adjustment.

Is it just me or is that a load of crap? A salary adjustment = to make right on marketplace salary norms. A merit = good job, you’re kicking ass.

Can anyone make me feel better?
