You only give a raise after exceeding expectations. We also never give exceeds expectations.
70This is exactly why I'm so goddamn happy I'm in a union, we fought off the fucking cunts and won. Secured significantly better conditions and guaranteed raises for several thousand people all in one go. It was a pretty narrow vote though, they literally hired a guy to generate internal propaganda about how good getting a pay cut was going to be...
39Our expectation is that you exceed expectations. So good luck.
27This what they told my wife when she was carrying 250% of the caseload her peers were. Boss rated her 3/5 and said that no one gets 5s.
2 of her coworkers doing less than half the work she did got rated 5.

Sometimes the person telling you that during the interview is subtly telling you to run.
45Yep!
At my last job, I was already jumping ship, but I was still part of the interview process. I used to give "hypotheticals" then say, "were holding what you say against you. No seriously. I'm not fucking kidding."

In the EU they will now have to post the salary range for a given position
29I applied for a dev position with a salary range with the higher end fitting my requirements. I checked off basically all of the boxes in the job announcement as I had worked as a consultant for that very company in that same position for several years prior. After interviewing rounds and a programming task, the interviewers were very happy with me and were eager to get me started. However, their offer was in the lower ~20% of the salary range. When I asked for the reason, I was told that they had to cut back costs, so they couldn't afford to pay me more.
So basically, the salary range was just bait to receive applications.
33Intro software Dev
$38,000-$250,000
25Yeah I assume it will be that you have to have actual numbers, so if no junior software dev earns 250k then you can't post that as upper range, I tried to find info about it, but it turns out it's not EU regulation, only a directive so each member country will implement it's own exact version

Europe being based again just like always
9Companies not giving a f and countries (at least NL) not enforcing anything like always.

No wage. Only work.
15That's the way it works? Starting out, entry level job? Get entry level resposibilty, and entry level pay. Same for midlevel, and senior positions. But this breaks down once you get to the executives. It seems like the less experience you have, better pay
10Where did you read this is for an entry level job?
5Idk how it is for other industries, but we Software Engineers usually get a system where the ranks are Junior, Regular and Senior.
Junior is the Entry level position, I've never seen a company around here be super unreasonable with the requirements. The max they ask for is some personal experience with some specific tech stacks and general willingness to learn new stuff. They know it's silly to ask for any work experience at that level and know that any hire will need quite a lot of support.
