'Revolving Door' IT/MIS jobs

[Namuna]

"The only way to make good money is to keep switching jobs"

I'm believing this idiom more and more everyday. I've been with my firm for 5 years now, currently as a Network Support Engineer. Just tonight I found out that our 7 month old new hire, in the same position, was brought in making $7,000 more than me.

It just angers me to hear Management complain about lack of employee longevity...Well JACKASS, do you think it has anything to do with the fact that you've got wage increase caps and hire new people at higher rates than your veterans?

I like where I'm at, but with practices like that I feel as if I HAVE NO CHOICE but to start looking around to see what my options are.

That's another good one.

if someone is already making that much more for the same position, i would fvcking bitch my bosses out, and if they didn't change i'd have a notice in my pocket saying i quit in the alloted amount of time (whatever that is for your company).

I'm about to ask for a significant raise tomorrow, if I don't get it I'm out that "revolving door."

I just want the place I'm working for to die. Then I can go back to school full time and get my degree.

That was fine when I was a Teenager and working in Retail. But nowadays with a Mortgage, car payments and a multitude of other bills, the luxury of saying F-you and walking out isn't mine to enjoy anymore.

I will stay, for now, but be more DEVIOUS!

I already flick his ears all day and sucker-punch em in the kidneys all the time. But he's my gaming buddy at work so that's as far as I go.
