I recently found out that a colleague of mine makes about 10% more from the same job that I have (front-end developer).
We're on the same skill level and work the same hours in the same company, however, after I said it's okay and that I don't care about money that much and don't care about wage disparities either people around me went apeshit and started laughing and calling me names.
I genuinely don't give a fuck about income after the basic necessities are covered and think all the autistic overreaction to money is stupid. Am I wrong here or is it the normies and their love of money who are wrong ?_?
You are wrong and most importantly you are laying a foundation on which they understand that you don't care being taken advantage of. You should be weary of what you are doing there user....

Don't care about money? Money equals life, even if you don't care about that, it could save someone else. It has great uses, you just cant utilize its potential and hence think it is useless, that just shows lack of imagination or passions.
Throwing it away and not taking care of it is like throwing away food, disgusting and wasteful.
Sorry if I sound harsh, and hope you have a good day, even if you are a furry fag. Peace, and all that.
Most people don't really care about money as long as they can live comfortably. Your colleagues are probably making fun of you because in a merit-based job like programming money = self-worth when that's really not the case.
I don't really feel like I'm being taken advantage of, I'm doing work that I enjoy and getting paid enough to cover my living and some more. It's comfortable living.
Who cares what some other dude might be making? Also I don't really feel I'd need any more money anymore, I have everything I want.
That is a poor line of reasoning. Money is very important. If you ever try to get a raise and your boss says you shouldn't be so focused on money then make plans to quit.
If money wasn't important they would give it to you. It is and they are trying to take advantage of you while saving every penny they can.

shitty post. OP could just go to his manager and ask for a raise and if denied, demand justification. It literally takes 15 minutes and you get free money for life because the tech world is full of soyboys who won’t say no if confronted. Even if you don’t care about money, you’re throwing it away

Let's say I use 1000€ / month for a comfortable living that I like, they pay me 3000€ / month.
That's 1500€ extra / month I have no use of (I usually just put it in stocks or cryptos or buy drinks to my friends with it etc.).
Why on earth would I demand 300€ more if I have no use for extra 1500€ either. I'm living well within my means as it is.
Dev manager here, i make sure to pay my better devs a little more, the ones i don't care if they quit get a little less.

Camden Fisher
OP wasn't a strong negotiator before to get parity with his colleague and now you want him to go demanding more out of nowhere? Great idea.
I do think OP should negotiate more strongly at the next opportunity like a promotion or a raise. We want to treat the problem (OP just taking what's handed to him) not the symptom (OP makes a little less than his colleague) of the problem.
Charles Foster
Actually it's 2000€ / month extra that's basically useless, not 1500€.
I wish I could voluntarily pay more taxes or something, there are people who could need it more than I do.
Jacob Gonzalez
Because now you have it to do with what you want. You might need it in the future. Put it in a rainy day fund or whatever. You save it. You are only asking for fair compensation.
Christian Perez
go ask for a %15 pay raise user, You sound like a good person and deserve it.
Leo Garcia
You can actually voluntarily pay more taxes. You can increase your withholding on your paychecks and at the end of the year there's a line on most tax return forms to acually give more money to the government. Nuts. I know.

a literal wage-cuck furry Veeky Forums just hit new low

>frond end developer kek
Cameron Butler
From us two I think I'm the (slightly) better one. The 10% gap isn't because of skill or hours, I'd probably get the 10% raise if I just asked for it.
I don't feel like I need anymore income and wouldn't ask for it either. Am I really the only one who thinks like this?
Bonus points if you take the money and throw it into chainlink and retire in 5 years.
Cooper Murphy
OK this is a terrible larp, sage.
Elijah Bell
>From us two I think I'm the (slightly) better one. You're pathetic. Stop seeking validation for your numale behavior.
Parker Hughes
Look at it this way OP, if you ask for more wage you can then use that money and spend it on charities and foundations that you feel do the most good.
Nathaniel Nguyen
I have a massive rainy day fund already. This 2000€ savings/investments per month has been going on for years now. I don't really need a larger rainy day fund.
I once tried paying more taxes than required and the government just sent it back. ._.
I've been thinking about this a lot. The problem is that I'd have to demand more money which would seem really greedy and selfish just so I could privately donate it to some charities. Also it increases the financial strain on the company and I really like my workplace.
Austin Fisher
Like I said before, OP. You do you. If you're happy then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
You feel like? Sounds like FEMALE reasoning. You are taken advantage of, fact. Faggot.
Gabriel Foster
OP do you do frontend work on the side? I need a webdev for an ETH contract I'm building.
Colton Gonzalez

Jason Sullivan

Grayson Torres
At this point just make a damn blog my dude, you keep using the same OP image. Dom't you have any friends you can blogpost to over Discord or somethin?
Jose Clark
Yes.
As long as it's ethical and beneficial to society.
This fag made the same thread yesterday basically. OP just go find a man to manage your finances and boypussy already ya fucking homo.
Evan Ramirez
Do what you want OP, but if you want the raise, just ask. Make sure to have another opportunity around the corner if your boss fires you.
Christopher Perry
He's made a thread daily every time he comes home from work. I just wonder why he doesn't just blogpost to his online friends instead of making an "anonymous" daily thread.
