Really? So why do you say that I'm making less money than my friends and that I would continue to switch jobs oh right because what I said was exactly what you were insuaiting that's why. I am leaving the door right open for you to shite on me ans call me a dumbass so go ahead and do it cause you know you want to.

You would love me as all my bosses do. You think I would actually talk like this in person? Damn you have no common sense.

I don’t know. Maybe because I’ve been out in the workplace over a decade longer than you and have watched how employers treat the serial job hoppers (even for promotions) vs. the moderately loyal employees that move up internally.

i didn't assume anything. I merely provided a counter argument.

So counter argue my post on the last page:

Your ENTIRE argument is that you feel slighted because you won't be making as much total compensation in the next year as the previous year.

You believe because you got a one time bonus last year, you deserve that bonus again plus your base salary. I tell you a real world scenario where someone would have less total compensation and all of a sudden you are lost and need some bullshite "FACTS" because I proved you wrong.

You want a full scenario:

A new grad in my line of work has a base salary of $70k. If they are on a project working onsite, they get straight time OT for anything over 40 hrs, a monthly per diem of $3500 post tax ($5333 and some change pre-tax). All moving expenses are reimbursed by the company, per diem for housing, meals, incidentals. Project is a success and has a 10% completion bonus if they stay to the end. The net sum if they work all the OT but still use there vacation time, total compensation for a year is ~ $157,822.92.

If the new grad spends all of the next year in the home office where there is no OT, per diem, etc, their total compensation is $70,000.

By your logic, their new base should be $157,822.92.

Good for you bro that's completley irrelevant and you still assumed I would switch jobs 6 times. SIX!!! Lmfaooooooooooooo god damn that was a dumb response.

---

It was in response to your claim that you don’t mind job hopping when companies refuse to increase your year 2 wages based off your compensation plus signing bonus. So yes, you will be looking for a new job each year.

You're not doing the same work or woeking the same hours. Thise two jobs are completley different in their demands. Shitty example. And no my logic would say that if they continued to work overtime and provided the same value as the work on that sign on project at their home office then they would have earned equal pay. You're not good at this.

---

No, you are the one that is terrible at this. You talk total compensation then have no response when counter arguments are brought to you.

For me, my job is the same rather I am in the home office or field office. Let's even eliminate the OT pay so that it's the exact same hours worked for the exact same hours for my previous example, the total compensation would be $133, 996.00 (you aren't the only one good at excel). Should the employee's new compensation be $133,966 when they are in the home office?

While I am thinking about it, let's get back to where you said earlier if they had not given you a raise, you would have looked for a new job. By that thinking, you would have to get a 10% raise to actual raise your total compensation from the year before. Even the 7% match would not have raised your total compensation from the previous year. See how your logic completely falls apart?

I do have to admit to the OP. This is a decent troll.

The problem is on the MT, no one gets pissed. They’ll continue to refute the troll with facts and actual experience in the situation.

You know how cell phone companies used to give free phones to join the network.. that’s the equivalent of your sign on bonus.

If you truly think each and every year you will make more total compensation than the previous year, you will be greatly disappointed later in life
