> However, kindly don't misrepresent the contents of Talia's article and shift the goalposts
I have not misrepresented anything. Please point me to an instance in my comment where I have.
In addition, I'm not shifting the goalposts. She said herself that she had a car, an apartment, residence in the US, credit cards, and a college degree, and she wants more. I believe she already has the bare minimums, as she would be considered incredibly wealthy by about 80% of the world.
> Because she's asking for the bare minimums, not a comfortable life.
As I pointed out earlier, she wants a comfortable life. More importantly, in her article, she has not pointed out any negotiations she's done with her employer to ask for a raise. She is simply demanding more money, for no good reason whatsover. If you cannot demonstrate and communicate the value you're adding to the company as well as your willingness to leave, why would the company give you more money?
Also, this article seems like emotional blackmail that plays into the current zeitgeist of "tech is bad, you should give more money away". If she gave compelling value add arguments, she'd definitely get paid more. Right now she's only presenting her wants and needs - the company doesn't care.
