Reddit User Frustrated Over Colleague's Salary Hike

Reddit User Frustrated Over Colleague's Salary Hike

Imagine you work really hard at your job and get good reviews, like getting an A+ in school.

Now, imagine your classmate, who does average work, gets a huge raise just by showing a fake job offer.

That's what happened to a Reddit user.

They were upset because their colleague, who wasn't as good at their job, got a much bigger raise.

The user felt it wasn't fair because their hard work didn't pay off as much as the fake offer.

Other people online agreed, saying that sometimes in the working world, getting a raise depends more on switching jobs or negotiating than on how well you do your work.
