Bold to assume there are any entry level jobs for young people to get into the work force haha

Really does suck though. I'm just about at a point in my career where working hard has somewhat paid off (I'm pretty irreplaceable due to having very specific knowledge about our software and infrastructure). I'm absolutely using that power to ransom my manager into treating the Junior Dev I'm mentoring way better than he would otherwise. I'm actually insisting that he gets his promotion to Regular at least 6 months earlier than is company standard, as well as at least a 12% raise this year. Just because my Junior is great, so I'm giving him way easier access to my domain knowledge which makes him irreplaceable as well. And guess who's handing in her resignation tomorrow, so the company has to scramble for a replacement ๐Ÿ˜Ž
