    My first job, big boss dangled salary increase if I could get project delivered on time so I worked my butt off. I got the salary increase but I was still paid less than what some new starters with same experience were making.

      First boss dangled moving to Salary to be a “Full Systems Admin” instead of a Junior

      Wages would’ve gone from $15/hr with 1.5x overtime to $30,000/year with unpaid overtime… Full SA made 50k which was already bad.

      They lost both Systems Admins on the same day.
