Speaking as a Millennial myself, I would quit my job if I felt the amount of pay I'm given is not proportional to the amount of workload the corporation is giving me. Basically when I feel like I'm giving it my all with results but the company does not recognize it and instead just dumps more work for you to do without the right compensation for it. This happened at my first job at a CPA firm working at one of the Big 4 where I felt I was being gaslighted for being lazy when not only I was the top performing accountant in terms of accuracy and deadlines. After 3 years of working with the firm, the only time I got a raise was when I got my CPA license which was only a $5k bump to my salary. Every other time I requested for a raise or a chance for a promotion, they would just pull up my previous years working for them and asking why I was working "less overtime hours" or how a person working under me was underperforming and blame me for it. I didn't even know it was a bad thing until I applied somewhere else with much better pay and a better work/life schedule that they finally offered me a promotion. I'm currently working at a new CPA firm that actually respects me for my hard work, to the point where my department has the highest retention rate out of the other departments because I treat my staff with respect. Fuck my old work place.
