Hah! Good point. Hadn't really thought of it that way but you're right.
I'm more concerned about being showered with praise about the performance and then not getting even a trickle of love vis a vie do-ray-me if ya knows what I'm sayin. Could ya give a little bit back? Stop patting yourselves on the back for having such a great "culture" (which is shut up and drink the Kool Aid, by the way) and give the masses what they really want which is the Benjamins y'all.
Haven't been here as long as some but in former lives when a company continued to buck up culture, the translation is "we love ya but we won't pay ya". Period. You like working here so you'll stay.
DGMW. It's a good living, but compared to true biotech where I've been, it's running at 70% or so. All I'm sayin.
