To that one ETL:I heard about what you told another team member about me being from “a rich town” and having “a lot of money”, and to that I say FUCK YOU. Yes, my parents had good careers and gave me a good foundation in life, but almost every expense from me comes out of my own pocket. My parents taught me to save my money and spend it wisely, and at $10 per hour I make just enough to get by. Not to mention I worked very hard to get a college scholarship. So while you’re making a 60k+ per year salary, you shouldn’t be making assumptions about other people’s wealth.
Oh, I left out one detail. My ETL said those things because another team member told him I should get a raise (thank you), and that was his response. If you feel I shouldn't get a raise, fine. But don't justify it by saying "he's from a rich town", I feel insulted.
