Lessons from Disappointments and Hardships

A couple of months ago, our company issued their annual pay adjustments to their employees. Everyone received their salary adjustment memos within several days of interval. I received my copy a week after the others as I am mostly out because of meetings and presentations.

To my dismay, I have been given the same adjustment as my peers with no differentiation for performance and consideration for industry averages. It’s as if it was an across the board increase. I did not sign my memo, and I took up my issue to my superiors.

The company had a tough year. I was mad at myself, asking on whether I will choose to stay or move on to another company who can provide better.

It was because of the story of 2 people that made me wrap my decision.
