The worker shared that he received the same pay increase as the rest of the company, despite going 'above and beyond' and receiving the yearly award.

The latest quarter saw wages across the U.S. jump by the most on records for the three months ending in September dating back 20 years, with pay increasing by 1.5% according to the Labor Department—making the Reddit user's raise much lower than average.

As noted by many of the"Anti Work" Redditers, the original poster's pay increase doesn't even counter growing inflation. Redditers were left questioning whether or not putting in extra work is actually ever worth it, with seemingly little acknowledgment or benefits for doing so in many roles. "When my bosses do s**t like this I say, this is nice but what am I gonna do with a plaque and 1%? I thought you had something good for me? Can I get back to work? I feel insulted," wrote another.
