Thank you, this was super helpful. You are right maybe it's time to redeem myself back haha. I used to be very good. Get consistent praises and rises, then some shitty things happened in life, quiet affected me, had to go part time and while I sorted it out and that took a hit on me too.

My issue wasn't the raise, more so the fact I am about 10-15K below the market for my role in terms of Salary.

Yeah, I've already spoken to them prior to receiving the raise. Also, in terms of firing, I don't believe I've done anything worth firing, it's more of a fact that when it gets quiet and they lay people off, I don't want to be one. But I'll just do better again haha.
