So, I currently work for a company at a certain salary. I've worked there for two years now. As a condition of taking the job, I was allowed to work remotely when they moved their office (54 miles away from my house). The move was planned when I was interviewed.

Since then, we've gotten a new boss that wants everyone in the office more, including me. I told him we need to discuss my salary if he's changing the conditions of the job I accepted. He's been blowing me off for a few weeks now.

I haven't received any raises there and I found out that they're expanding the team and my salary is the lowest they're willing to pay for a new person in my position.

What I want to know is, what should I do with this information? I'm afraid that if I ask for more money, they might fire me, since they're hiring for my position anyway (for a different team, they say).

However, I don't think it's fair that I haven't received a single raise and that I make the lowest amount for this position, especially after two years of nothing but great work.

What should I do? Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I received word from my boss about a gas card...

So, I was just thinking about this. It's not-at-all tech-related, but I'm just curious why I never read about it or if it's even been explored at all.

My idea to better education, specifically for middle and high school is this: make EVERYONE'S grades somewhat dependent on the lowest grade in the class.

This will help the annoying slackers get their act together since they're not sinking alone. They're drowning everyone along with them.

This will hopefully also help everyone come together to help the person with the lowest grade. However, I'm sure it could lead to massive amounts of resentment if the experiment isn't managed well.

Anyway, I have no idea if this is a usual HN thing, but I read HN religiously and I value the input from its members.

Thanks.
