I got so mad at my job recently.

I'm a dept lead. But the one who gives raises is two levels above me. And my teammate went to HR fully expecting to get a promotion, which they gave to her but without the salary. I raised a shit storm, and they said, "nothing we can do." Which is BS.

I pulled her aside and told her to work less, and been pushing for her to get more raises so she meets the minimum baseline salary for her role.

Depending on your field a title only promotion still has value. It allows the person to put "Senior Whatever" on their resume instead of "Junior Whatever" when they start applying for jobs that pay what their worth in six months.

Most companies care about actual experience (years and past duties) when making hiring decisions. They only consider previous titles and salary when they think they it'll help them negotiate a lower salary.

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.
