In light of Father’s Day, wondering how your upbringing has shaped your perception on salary and attitude towards work? My dad constantly tells me I should be making more

I've never done very well for myself, which I always knew would be a consequence of the career I chose. Never once has my Dad ever criticized my choice, or what I make. I'm 38 and he still asks "are you ok for money this month? Do you need anything?" every time I see him. He has always been someone who does what he can with the hand he's been dealt, and he raised me the same way. Do work that I enjoy, that does some good in the world, and be content with the lifestyle it provides me.

This is so heartfelt 🥺 you are lucky to have a dad like this!

My dad has never been very interested in my career. As long as I'm happy and making enough to have a roof over my head, he doesn't really seem to care, which is just fine with me. There are a million things I'd rather talk to him about than work.

That’s also nice to that about other things

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

I know this might not be the place. But I need help to find a driving instructor in Toronto. Please provide names or tips.

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one.

I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?
