Not anymore, no. Do company leaders feel guilty when they layoff jobs? They’re doing what’s best for the company. Do the same for you and yours ❤️

like

No. If anything, I’m looking forward to making more. I worked hard for this.

like

No. And I particularly don't feel guilty when it is so easy to see that as a woman I'm always under leveled and under compensated relative to my male peers.

like

Why should we? We worked hard for it. It's only natural that we get properly compensated for the work we put in. You deserve it, so celebrate it. We've been taught to be small about our achievements for so long and it's time to unlearn it.

I used to feel when I used to move jobs and be in probation for about 2-3 months then bang neck deep in work almost 12hours and then look out for another one which pays more lol!

No.

I used to, when I felt I had less experience and responsibility. But now that I am more confident and have to take more on, I know I'm worth it.

I did for a long time…but now I realize that I work really hard for it!

Never guilty, but I do avoid flaunting it with peers who are not making as much. Celebrate your value!! If it’s a problem with partners being insecure, seek a partner that will encourage you to excel in life.

I don’t think anyone should feel guilty about the money they earn. You should be proud of it. I try to give back a little when I get an opportunity. You are worth it.

like

Yes, before. I have to look for two more part-time jobs. But now I was able to land on a very good job with a very good pay.

like

Nope. I am proud of it because I worked so hard for it. It's not easy to earn money nowadays.

like

No, because I’m certain I’m underpaid. That seems to be the trade off for the comfort of working for the same company for 10 years.

Love your perspectives ladies!

I don't think I call it "guilt". I call it inadequate. I feel like at this age, I should be making more.

Sometimes I feel bad about it. I don't even know what other people make or if what I make is a lot. I naturally thrive with a lot of my work, and I love what I do. I think that seeing some of my peers struggle with their work or dissatisfied with their job demotivates me and makes me feel bad about doing what I love and earning money for it. 😣 I realize this is inappropriate guilt because why should I feel guilty for doing something that I love? But, it’s hard for me to watch my coworkers and friends not as confident in chasing their lives/work in a way that they enjoy.

My company is paying for one credit card. I'm leaning towards Amex Platinum given the large 100k sign up bonus at the moment (which I'll be able to hit). People lean towards CSR because of the 3x on dining but I don't eat out that much (and additional perks, but I prefer the Amex for that).

Should I grab the Amex Plat and not think twice?? Thanks!!
