My first industry job: lies, deceptions, and layoffs
"The recruiter telling me they only had budget for $30k (no software engineer would have accepted that low of pay in 2006 in Houston), making me team leader to get me to do more work, making me lay off around $300k worth of employees and do their work myself without giving me even a dollar of extra pay."<p>This sounds like basically every job to me. Are there actually places that will give you raises to pay you what you're worth without having to fight or leave?
