I feel like the work I’m doing is going unnoticed. I work hard and give my all for nothing it seems. Not to mention I love my job and I love the people I work with. I need a bonus or extra money for the time and effort.
Am I the only one who feels like this?

I definitely don't think you are alone in that. It seems like the people who do the most are usually the ones who are appreciated the least. I would just encourage you to set really good boundaries with your job and only do the amount you are paid for. If you start going above and beyond and you absolutely NEED the appreciation in order to feel okay with how hard you're working, maybe scale it back.

As of lately I’ve been doing that and some people probably noticed because their reactions have been a little different

I think that's a pretty common situation. I often feel like I've gone above and beyond, and it really doesn't make a difference. No one seems to notice and there's certainly no difference in my compensation. I'm more or less content in the job, but at times it can feel frustrating.

Yea I refuse to feel frustrated anymore. I care but I refuse to care more than the people who gets paid more than me

You are not alone at all. Count me in. I always go above and beyond and nobody appreciates my efforts. It is a story of a lot of people these days.

That’s so unfortunate! Which we as good workers get fed up too. I hope it gets better for us

I believe that we all feel this way. We are over worked and under paid for the work that we do in our industry. Now that the economy is not in the best shape.. a lot of these companies are barely giving raises.

Oh no, your feelings are absolutely valid. That’s probably why you’re not getting a lot of verbal recognition. If your manager recognizes that you go in the extra mile then he knows he has to pay you more and he probably doesn’t want to do that.

you’re definitely not the only one who feels like that, however, I feel like in retail hard work and effort are just rewarded with more work. Do your job well and with integrity. Hopefully, one day or at some point you’ll be offered a bonus or some form of compensation worthwhile.

Hi All,
Hope everyone is doing well.
I recently joined Barclays and I have one doubt regarding bonus part in my salary which is not officially mentioned anywhere in my offer.

Can anyone please tell how we get annual bonus in % on Below Salary components.
Is it on BASIC SALARY or ANNUAL SALARY or TOTAL FIXED PAY.

I had a very positive experience interviewing with Amazon for an L5 Technical Writer role. I originally applied for a lower level writing role, ending up acing my Loop, and was passed on to speak to the hiring manager for the L5 role.

Given the positive tone of our conversation, I expect to receive an offer this week.

Can somebody tell me what kind of base salary/bonus/RSU ranges I should aim for? I'm transitioning to tech and have 10+ years of professional writing experience. PNW based.

Few questions if you wouldn’t mind to oblige:
