As soon as it becomes infeasible to read every comment, downvoting to disagree creates echo chambers and encourages groupthink.

Someone with your work ethic should be rewarded with increased compensation. Typically, however, that reward is delivered by taking a new job with a higher pay. Help yourself and go find a new job.

Do you purposefully misspell his name?

It’s a systemic issue that provides us such terrible candidates. Pretending the bar can be set higher, GIVEN THE CURRENT SYSTEM, is naively optimistic.
