She asked if switching the salary talk day would help. I said the difference would be small, and the raise would not meet his full expectation.

Zongyuan, my husband is going to talk to his boss about a raise. The boss picked today, a Wu Chen day, which feels weak. Would switching to Ji Si be better? But Si changes form to Xu, [redacted]
师父,我老公要跟领导谈涨薪,领导 选今天戊辰日,弱的出来了,换己巳 好点不?但巳换象戌,[redacted]
I suggested Geng Wu morning, but he said he can't wait that long [emoji]

It's already a salary month, so the base is good.

Aim high, get middle. Or aim middle, get low.

He will get something, just not the most satisfying amount.

Mm-hmm.

But Chen is also a word from his home chart, so overall it's still okay. It's just a question of how much.
不过辰也是家里的字,所以总体还是 可以,就是多少的问题

Is switching to Ji Si better?
换己巳好点吗?

Not much difference. Si also has Jia from Hai to support it a little.

Right. Because his boss said that out of 10 people they interviewed recently, 8 were unemployed. Said the market outside is really, really bad right now.
妥协了
Client
The boss said a friend of his at NVIDIA wanted to join their company and couldn't even get in. That the company is really strict about hiring now. That kind of thing, basically telling him to be grateful.
对的 因为他领导说 最近面试的10个人里 8个都是在家待业的 说现在外面形势很差很差
Also said what they gave him was already the highest raise possible. Just all kinds of PUA, basically.
领导说有个朋友在英伟达 想要去他们公司 都没进得去 现在公司对进人的标准卡的很死 反正就是这类的吧 意思是让他珍惜
