Deeply conflicted on whether I should out this on r/thathappened as well.

[text] Robert Sweeney 3rd CEO at Facet Technical recruiting as a service Follow 2 One day at Netflix my manager dropped into my office and said Youre getting a raise today I had only been at Netflix for a few months so wasnt expecting a raise any time soon. Cool But why asked. His response is an example of why I loved working at Netflix. We just hired a new Senior Software Engineer on our team and he negotiated a higher salary than what were paying you. So we are increasing your salary to match. If you have to pay more to hire new employees that means the market has gone up and your current employees need a raise to match Dont punish loyal employees for sticking with you by allowing their compensation to fall behind the market.
