I did a massive project back five or so years ago. Put in a lot of work, and since the work is something I've done for 20 years, the work was flawless.

I got a one time bonus.

The same year I didn't get a cost of living increase. And every year I did get one since then, it's been half or less of inflation.

Everyone is treated this way at my company. They recently installed AI-based Spyware on all computers that takes regular pictures of the screens and monitors all clicks and mouse movements. I guess everyone is demotivated, so this is how they are handling that. Few people know about this, it was done secretly.

I will never work hard for these people again. I don't think I could even if I did try at this point. There's zero trust, and a pattern of exploitation.
