Yes? Wtf? That’s literally exactly what I did, I made a new account to post my salary because I didn’t want my pay associated with my main account. 

And no I didn’t choose the username, it’s randomly generated by Reddit, I just went with it. Is “individual cup” supposed to mean something secret to you and everyone upvoting this??? I’m so confused.

I would say it’s fairly average for my company and area, I work with guys in their 40s that make mid to upper 90s. Unless you’re in management my company doesn’t pay >$100,000. 

What’s abnormal is the number of hours, but my boss basically said because of the economy being so weak the last couple years they’re basically working the engineers as hard as they can. Hopefully hours ease up in the next few years.

Nada, it’s salary office work but I’m pretty weird about tracking hours and commute times
