My state passed a law that requires a salary range to be posted with job listings and I looked at our website for the position I have; we are looking for someone with 5-10 years of experience (I have 13+ years) and are offering 18% more than what I make.
I have my master's degree and a higher degree of professional licensure (think 16hr exam with a much smaller pass rate compared to an 8hr exam). During my internal review, my manager just tells me what a good job I'm doing and how I exceed the expectations of my role, and they give me shit pay adjustments that probably don't even keep up with inflation and tell me that they really appreciate my work.
Feels band man. I think I would feel better if they gave me shitty reviews and told me things I needed to improve; the way it is, I just resent them, but I just smile and take it because I'm a wimp.
