1) Give you a raise 2 years ago, then again last spring and now a few weeks back, but nothing ever changed.

2) Buy you a mobile phone if you did the research, but when you presented the costs, they said no, it was too expensive (even if it was mid-range).

3) Presented you with a Christmas bonus, after a year of more than $250K in personal sales, amounting to $700, when you know the company is making a couple million per year.

Would you leave or keep at it, hoping things would turn around?

My current job was becoming a drag and I wasn’t progressing in any way. Fortunately, they approached me with a challenge to start working directly with the creative director, which is a gift since the guy is a genius. I’m sticking around for that, but if the fruits from the tree dry up quickly, then I’ll be looking for something new and in the meantime, i’m working on my blog and thinking up others as well as figuring if I have what it takes to go freelance again. The last time sucked because of The Bust and 911. I guess we’ll see what the near future holds.

I’m not really doing it for the same reasons that Sharon mentioned in her article, though, but more because the Dilbert cartoons are a little too close to reality.
