    This is not how jobs work. It never has been.

    Do more than expected, and that becomes your new expected output. Get the same money, over years, which doesn’t keep up with CoL and translates to a pay reduction. Jump to another job, maybe, if you can manage to do so after exhaustion from working “more than expected” and then going home to take care of life responsibility.

      Yes, especially corporate America. The only raises you get are from job hopping every 1-2 years, which is ridiculous.
