    Either you leave or you negotiate together with a union.

    Maybe it‘s cause I‘m a woman or maybe I‘m too stupid, but I read 3 negotiation books and tried multiple times with all I had learned and despite years of stellar performance reviews got fuck all (well like 1-2% twice in 2 years at 10% inflation lmao which felt like an insult).

    Leaving for another job is what finally helped me out to get the 20% I desperately needed after that.

      Being a woman definitely doesn’t help, since women are massively undervalued in the workplace. But for everyone, leaving for a new job is what makes pay go up. Companies have twice the budget for new hires as they do for internal pay raises/promotions.
