    I was actually told during a review that they couldn’t rank me higher because then they’d have to give me more money. My boss said I deserved it, but they didn’t have the money to give it to me.

    I started looking for a new job that day.

        Not to mention hiring the always more expensive replacement dev.

        Used to work for CenturyLink. The year they took away our Christmas bonus is the same year the company really took a nosedive.

        CEO got a 20 billion million dollar bonus, enough to cover our Christmas bonuses and still give him 15 million.

      I had something similar! But my manager was a former dev that I worked for that didn’t know how to manage and tried to convince me that I didn’t deserve it.

      I got a 30% raise moving elsewhere.
