Thankfully nothing too big. 50 odd hours from my end, probably 150 ish total across my team members. And funnily enough, it was an internal project but the other group never agreed to pay afterwards for months at end despite constant requests.

I'm not in sales per se but I manage my company's largest wholesale account ($150 million per/yr account). It's a great company, awesome culture, good benefits, flexibility, but the pay is not great ($60K/yr). All the pros outweighed the mediocre pay, but now with inflation rising, my paycheck isn't going as far and I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out if I should start looking elsewhere or if I should ask my boss for a raise.
