At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.
They gave me a number to shoot for. It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.
So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.
I got what I asked for.
If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known. I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.
You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.
Because this is crucially important
Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action.
Honestly if bowsette has taught me anything its that straight men can be openly horny for anything in mainstream video games and it will become a funny trend everyone hops on and won’t ruin the rep of that character, video game, or its fandom, but the second women and queer people do it, esp to an indie video game with queer characters in it everyone was looking for an excuse to hate on anyway, it all becomes #MegaCringe
And the thing that gets me is that for all the branding of Undertale as the Ultimate Cringe Fandom, at the very beginning of it all was a wave of drawings of Toriel with giant goat MILF tiddies, but the real descent into infamy only started when fangirls and LGBT+ kids and other marginalized folks fell in love with Sans, and apparently their getting attached to and finding comfort in a likely representation of depression was too much for the internet.
