It’s not personal, it’s just business.

That's my brother. When the boss asks to do overtime he opens a spreadsheet that calculates what every hour of overtime actually puts in the bank account. It's surprisingly low. Then he asks the boss to make it worth his time.

set me achievable targets properly recompensed

In my brother's place they changed the end of year bonus. It's no longer on an individual level but as a group. And the targets van change at any time. Who are they trying to fool.

I think myself, I'll probably get the "you're indispensable but they're isn't any budget for a raise" this year
