a thing bothered me yesterday and it's still bothering me today and so now i want to tell a story.

It got reshared all over the place. People started adding pivot tables that did spreadsheet magic that highlighted not great things re: pay.
I did some general housekeeping stuff to the sheet (normalizing the gender field where it could be, exchange rate stuff, that sort of thing)

More reshares. More people adding pay. It became a thing.

Meeting ended. Sheet kept going. People were thanking me for it. They were also sending me peer bonuses.

here's how peer bonuses work @ former co: If you did something good, someone peer bonuses you, you get $150 net in your next paycheck.
-
An important thing I learned during that time: peer bonuses are rewarded at managers discretion. My manager was rejecting all of them.

Wasn't sure if this would be good for the company. Wanted to see what the outcome was. Mind you once a PB is rejected, that can't be undone.

Meanwhile, one of the other people involved, a white dude (good friend I won't name, he can name himself if he wants), was also getting PBs.
