My salary is 5,500 and the new salary is 10,000, I resigned after I knew, and the boss wanted to invite me again because he couldn't solve the technical problems, and I said that the salary of 30,000 yuan could be considered.
I have been working in software development in a high-tech company for almost 5 years, and with solid technology and excellent performance, I have gradually risen from ordinary programmer to project leader. But what makes me depressed is that my salary has only increased from 3,000 to 5,500 in 5 years, which is too small.
Not long ago, the company recruited a new programmer, Xiao Zhang, who is a fresh graduate, and I, as Xiao Zhang's senior, am responsible for taking him to familiarize himself with the working environment and projects. Xiao Zhang has been very active in the first few days, often asking questions, although it is a bit troublesome, but I think his seriousness is very good.
During a meal, Xiao Zhang asked about the company's salary, and I told me my salary truthfully, and Xiao Zhang was stunned after hearing it. He said hesitantly"Brother Y, don't mind, in fact, I just came here for 10,000, maybe because I graduated from a prestigious school, so the salary is set higher. "
I was stunned at the time, I worked hard for 5 years, and I worked hard to rise from 3000 to 5500, and I was not as good as a fresh graduate! Although Xiao Zhang graduated from a prestigious school, how can he compare to me in terms of ability and experience? What is the logic of the company? I asked HR for confirmation, and the reply I got was that in order to attract highly educated talents, the company offered high salaries, and the salary increase budget of old employees was limited, so we wanted to understand the high salary of new employees.
I immediately felt insulted and treated unfairly, and I worked hard in the company for 5 years, in exchange for a newcomer who killed my salary! The company completely disrespects the old employees! After thinking about it, I decided to quit my job and find another job.
I solemnly submitted my resignation letter to the company and explained the reason for my resignation in detail. The company's attitude was beyond my expectations, and it was approved happily, without retaining or raising my salary, and just let me go. I felt even more uncomfortable, but I had to bite the bullet and start the difficult road of job hunting.
As the months passed, I hit a wall everywhere and the process of finding a job was extremely difficult. Although I have 5 years of experience, it is not easy to find a better job as I get older and during this gap period. Seeing that my savings were about to be spent, my life was hard to endure day by day.
Just when I was at a loss, the boss of the former owner suddenly called** and said straight to the point that the project team had encountered technical problems, and the new Xiao Zhang couldn't solve them, and hoped that I could go back to help. The boss said that as long as I went back, the salary would be doubled and there would be a generous project bonus.
I sneered, it's only 10,000, and now it's not so easy to ask me back. So I pretended to be reserved and said:"I'm sorry, now I have an hourly salary of 1,000 and an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, if you pay 30,000 yuan, I can consider going back to be a short-term consultant. "I want to teach my old club a lesson and let them know the cost of losing me.
* The boss on the other end was silent for a long time after listening, and then said helplessly:"Lao Wang, the company is also very difficult, now the business is shrinking, everyone is cutting salaries, your requirements are too high, I'm afraid the company's senior management will not agree. Otherwise, you better come back to work, I can give you 6000, and I will have the opportunity to give you a raise in the future, okay? "
I scoffed, 6000 just want to send me away? I was supposed to get a salary increase at the beginning, but I was given a high salary to the newcomer, and now I know that you beg me? It's late! I refused the boss without hesitation, saying that unless I was given 30,000, I would not be able to talk!
The boss begged again and again, and even lowered his posture and said that he could give me 8,000, but my bottom line of 30,000 would never let go. In the end, the boss reluctantly gave up, saying that the company really couldn't afford such a high salary, thanked me repeatedly, and wished me a bright future.
Hung up**, I breathed a sigh of relief, great, I finally had the feeling of raising my eyebrows! It seems that his ability and value have been recognized, otherwise the boss would not have tried his best to keep him. It's just that I clearly know that the old club can't go back, and the request of 30,000 yuan is a bit of a kick on the nose and face, but if the lion doesn't open his mouth once, how can they pay attention to me?
Today, I am still unemployed, and I am anxious and stressed about work every day. However, I firmly believe that there is always a reward for hard work, and as long as you persevere, you will one day meet your soulmate and find your dream job. In this process, I deeply reflected on the fact that although the company's approach was problematic, why didn't I also have problems?
Blindly being angry with the company, and having to go back to 30,000, is it too idealistic? In reality, how can there be such a perfect job? Maybe 6000, 8000 is already the sincerity of the company. Am I too stubborn and conceited?
Now that I think about it, if I hadn't bothered about the high salary of the newcomer and worked hard, maybe the opportunity was right in front of me. Even if you really feel that the treatment is unfair, you can communicate with the boss calmly and be reasonable! If you have to argue with the company, now you will lose both, and no one will feel good.
Alas, what a regret! What am I trying to do? Is it worth it to gamble on a moment's whims? Life is so long, what are you angry with your old club? There's no need to narrow the road!
In retrospect, getting 10,000 sheets is not worth my jealousy at all. I have my advantages, he has his opportunities, I can't force it, it's useless to compare. In all fairness, if I had worked safely, it would have been a matter of time before I would have a raise of 10,000 or more sooner or later. If you have to be more energetic, you will lose a precious opportunity, and the gains outweigh the losses!
Through this lesson, I learned that the workplace is like life, there is no eternal fairness, only hard work. Instead of complaining, it is better to be down-to-earth, accumulate your own strength, and accumulate steadily. If you care too much, you will lose; If it is too serious, it will be detached from reality.
Hopefully, my experience can shed some light on young people who are caught up in wage inequality and are at odds with their companies. The career road is long, and the gains and losses are calm. Learn to let go, learn to grow, know how to forbear, know how to choose, and the road of life can go further, higher and broader!
Come on, professionals! Let's work together, grow together, and create our own bright future! Everything can be expected, and the road ahead is bright!
