Thanks!

By glens - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my company announced a new name. They also announced new coffee mugs with the name on them. They've not announced raises in over 3 years. FML

Sure that sucks, but in today's economy you should just be grateful you have a job at all!

Another FML from OP would follow: "I had a stable, long term decent-paying job at which we would occasionally get free company swag. I quit because I thought I could do better, and the other place wouldn't give me the raise I deserved. I've been unemployed for a year now. No one will hire me, no matter where I look. FML."

Making changes that can help in the marketplace is a business strategy. Rebranding a company can make them relevant again. Just because you've done your job for 3 years, and that's an assumption, doesn't mean you are deserving of a raise. It means you should get to keep your job, nothing more. They aren't your parents and this isn't allowance.

It makes it the way things are. No one thinks it's ok, but that's life nowadays. Your kind of moral mentality has no place in this economic climate. Either you deal with it, or get the **** out and give your job to someone who's grateful to have a means of keeping a roof over their head.

Relax. I misunderstood what you were getting at. No need to be dramatic.

I haven't had a raise in three years and hundreds of employees that have been working there for 10+ years were laid off so new employees could be hired for severely less pay. I don't even have a job in the career field I chose and have a Bachelors degree in. I am lucky I have a decent job regardless. So suck it up OP. Thousands of us are in the same situation!

I hear you. I have a neuroseurgeon running one of my winch trucks. Can't find work for his specialty. I pay well, but not THAT kind of well. I'm sure he will leave the oil patch eventually, but in the meantime he's making 1/3 of what he was in his specialty.

I would rather have the job with no raise in three years than a job that gives me a raise and goes bankrupt.
