Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?
I am a full stack developer java, springboot, microservices, angular, oracle, inhouse cloud.
As a 602 with 12.6 YOE
Got 10 % mid year hike on a fine day unexpectedly which pushed my cctc to 29.2
We have 60k ceo bonus and 18% variable pay I am getting since last 4 years.
After checking lot of posts here it seems I am on low ctc here.
How much should I target next and which companies ?

I'm guessing this has a lot to do with people feeling like they are competing with AI and their jobs are at risk. People are going a year+ unemployed, so no one wants to risk being laid off.
You can do that by being a great worker, burning yourself out helps no one
Omg WHY?! I'll do it every now and then because time and a half pay is awesome, but I would not be caught dead working for free. What is wrong with these people???
So what they're new, lemme repeat what he said "what is wrong with these people?"(What he said still stands because he knew the reason & they're crazy

Totally agree — some people go way overboard trying to prove themselves. It’s like, calm down, no one’s handing out medals for unpaid overtime! There’s a difference between being dedicated and just burning out for free. Work smarter is the way to go.
Literally & even if they did, a gold metal went get me no money, no extra days off. It's not worth it. Smarter not harder for the win
I do the opposite. I always act dumb and never do more than I'm supposed to do. I always get my job done, nothing extra. Sometimes higher ups talk to me like I'm slow, but that's okay, I act dumb lol I've been managing a store for over a year now, so it's worked out fine lol

Why would you even care more than you are supposed to. When you are delievering your goals, why care .
Yet they're risking their health, which is worse than being unemployed because if your health is messed up you can only come back to work once your 100%. It doesn't make sense you drive yourself until you collapse. Like he said when smarter not harder lol

Exactly. When we had meeting about this, our managerment told everybody about the health affect of this practice. It is really bad for our mental health too.

That’s crazy I need to get paid for all my time
At Rite Aid, if management found out about this you'd lose your job. That was severely frowned upon, since it could be a liability.

You are right. It is against the rule of any company. You should be doing it at all. If you are scheduled for 8 hours just focus on your work during that schedule time.
The past couple jobs have told me upon hiring that they’re about to clean house and get all the lazy people out of there. I spent a little extra time cleaning and such, trying to get everything in order.. True to form, they all did clean house, one by one. Maybe that’s what’s going on where you work and they’re staying late to correct the work you didn’t do, while HR builds it’s case against you to have you terminated. Instead of laughing and saying chill out, you should honestly be nervous. Bad and lazy attitudes at work don’t go unnoticed
I met a woman that when started as a chef, she just woke up early in the morning to go to the restaurant to prepare the ingredients before her journey beings, because she "want to productive" and she pointed me that that's what a good worker does...and I was like:" humms...no, but whatever, it's your body"
