Just saw some short Fido ad on TV, wow it made it feel like you were joining the team at Walmart…raising the standard by lowering the bar.

You put in extra effort thinking it will lead somewhere, and instead they just pile on more tasks. No new title, no raise, nothing. Now I'm wondering why I ever went above and beyond.

My manager has been "dangling the carrot" at me ever since I joined. Asking me to burn midnight oil and be an expert, which I have done so and received so much appreciation from individual team members. Yet no recognition from my manager, no... — read more

Last year I switched to a new team but my new pay honestly su-ked. I got the lower end of the range and HR was not willing to negotiate.

I started gaslighting myself by thinking about the good ole day at fidelity… then I remember being on multiple teams where women had extra children just for some time off. No, it’s always been this bad.
