and then I got a holiday surprise of a "competitive" wage increase that takes effect the first of the year 🥹 happy tears feel so weird lol
Good, you deserve it
oh hell yes!!
and my manager made sure to let me know I'll still get the yearly merit increase in 2025
HECK YEAH
WOO!
I knew she had been pushing for this for me for over a year but apparently our department director was too and was able to get it done 🥹
it's going to be so nice to feel like I have a little breathing room with money
WOOHOOOO
noice!
Congrats!! 
yay!!!!
