Well, bummer even still. I think advocating for yourself is a good idea, if only to make it less likely you will get passed over for a raise the next time. Is this an annual thing?
I love that you see value, to you, in your work, whether or not others compensate you for it. I suppose businesses have to pay those rising costs too. I'm very glad I am no longer on either end of decisions like these
Yeah. Would have been nice to get some recognition.
Nah, I will discuss it more in depth likely before summer even. This isn't that much of an issue for me, but it is more the thought behind it that annoys me.
Yes - but that is why they increase the price :) The major cost to the company is the people in this line of work.
