And wind up to where you are an expert in one area and completely and totally clueless in every other area? I find that for whatever reason, in the IT world today, most management prefer to have 12 people for 12 products who are specialize in one product rather than Have 12 who are all good at 6, or even 2. Which is hilarious since they always preach redundancy yet have none. General knowledge in IT these days seems to be a ticket to the middle of the pack. If you are really good at one thing you are more likely to be noticed than if you are pretty good at everything. Yup. Thus is my problem. I'm the guy who has knowledge on 6 or 7, but it's a lot of knowledge. Nothing wrong with specializing in one product, but I don't see how that guy is more valuable to the company than a guy who has knowledge on all of them. It's funny 'cuz the noobs come to me with questions before they go to the guy who specializes in just one product. |

To me it all comes down to pride. I work hard because I have pride in myself and don't want my name associated with anything sub-par. A lot of people lack that pride and just do the minimum.

I don't complain. I just keep working hard and hope my raise is even bigger when I do get it. Then you get the people that don't wanna do anything but keep whining about not getting a raise. |

I'm in my 30s and have never received a raise in my life that wasn't a promotional raise. Not for lack of asking either. I had one boss tell me something like, "Yes, I agree that you are more valuable to the company than you were when we hired you yet you are making the same money. We are still not going to give you a raise." Then you've got reason to bitch. Six months later I had another job making $15k more. |

The raise I'm due to get is actually a promotion which would be an extra $15k per year. The good thing is that they are telling me that I am in fact getting it. They have admittedly been slow with the paperwork due to us entering our busy season. |

Could it all be attributed to the economy? Could people be upset that the paycheck stays the same but everything else goes up? You put in your days work and at the end of the day you can buy less groceries, less gas for your car, it's frustrating.
And at the same time your workplace demands more of you. America now has to compete with the world. So if you want to keep your job you have to work harder or else your workplace may ship out of country.
