    Mate you’re living the dream. Inflexibility works in favour of the employee.

    Imagine everything you do, and going above and beyond, and working extra hours, as a way of your boss manipulating your team so when performance reviews time comes in they can say the usual scripts:

    • you’re not getting a raise that covers inflation and I’m sorry but it’s out of my control
    • our company didn’t make as much money as we expected ( and they never do because of infinite growth mindset on a finite planet)
    • the other companies are doing much worse than us
    • your co worker did this and that and it was so helpful, you should aim for doing double of what they did ( guilt trip that they will also do on your co worker that got the same raise as you, and heard what YOU did that now they have to top)

    Source: I’ve been a manager in a big corpo and I’ve done and or seen all of the above. More seen than done, because I’ve kept my conscience sorta close to me.
