Is it weird that my manager says I’m the backbone of the team but also tells me to be patient about compensation? I’m tired of emotional raises instead of financial ones. I've been here almost 2 years, nothing.

That's perfectly normal manager speak. They've got a knack for pacifying with promises that never seem to get fulfilled. It's wild that you didn't get any raise. I don't think anyone I work with, myself included, could be considered the backbone of the company, and we all at least get the standard 2.5% bump after reviews.

Working for two years without a raise is too long. Time to do something about it. Talk to your manager, make the case that you've become a valuable employee, and argue that your compensation should reflect that. Don't accept nonsense about being patient, you've already been more than patient.

That’s very weird!

This would totally upset me for sure and I would have been looking after the first year. The way the economy is changing there is no way companies shouldn’t be given bonuses or raises because 9/10 they are making more money due to increases their prices as well.

No, sadly, that sounds all too familiar to me. Being told how valued I am and that I do the job of three people. But there’s no money in the budget to pay me what I’m worth.

Can anyone recommend a white label chat tool that I can embed in my application? All the people that would be using the application would have the ability to do targeted communication to others. We'd need to basically present a button and when clicked 2 people can then talk to each other directly. You can think of it like a buyer and seller communication feature on a marketplace but real time.
