I just got my first performance review, and the feedback was literally "you're doing great, keep doing what you're doing," with a 2% raise. Inflation in my city is sitting at 4%, so my reward is effectively a pay cut for a year of hard work. Is this normal? Is the only thing to do jump companies?

I’m currently navigating my first major workplace mistake, and my brain is telling me to pack my bags and disappear. I accidentally sent an internal draft to a client group, and even though it was resolved in an hour, I feel like I’ve permanently ruined my reputation here. Everyone keeps telling me it happens to everyone, but the anxiety of waiting for the fallout is making it impossible to sleep. How do you bounce back?

It feels almost impossible to get into tech nowadays. No companies want to hire new grads since they all have AI that can basically operate at the same level. Its super super discouraging as someone who just graduated with only 1 internship experience, I feel like I wasted my time getting this degree. Does anyone have any advice?

If every employee had an AI assistant that doubled their productivity, would companies hire fewer people or expect twice as much work?

Is there an ethical limit to how much wealth one individual should be allowed to accumulate, even if it was earned legally and through innovation?
