Fuck I hate this world we live in
Just heard there are no merit raises this year bc the company is hurting. Started looking for a new position since I doubt they will make up for the lack of a raise next year.
Actually got a 3% raise
Actual inflation was 10.5% at the timeIt would be funny if it didn’t hurt so much. Rent is too high, grocery bill has me intermittent fasting, and I walk/bike instead of driving now. Shit is rough out here.
Luckily doing all of those things will solve the problem once and for all!

The companies are wrecking earth, not us.

You guys need to unionize and fight for raises that exceed the inflation rate. Here in Brazil, we have this in almost every type of labor.
Five years ago, the right-wing began dismantling the unions’ monetization system in an attempt to break them, and they also raised the retirement age. However, the unions are still doing their job, and every year we receive a raise above inflation.
The current left-wing government has already said that they are working to recover a monetization system for unions. They are studying a way to implement this in a manner that will make it difficult for a future government to repeal.
Some industries like programming are not quite as simple to get unionization going. Pretty much only public sector jobs have unions when it comes to programming. I wish that weren’t the case. On the flip side though, the abundance of programming jobs (when there isn’t a damn near tech recession) makes switching jobs to get a huge raise pretty clearly the way to go.

USAians are overall too dumb to figure all this out
You seem to be forgetting the 10 other reasons why relative wages are falling behind aside from ignorance
In many places they wouldn’t be falling behind if dirt poor people weren’t frothy-mouthed cheering for trust fund inheritor babies who only pay attention to hot escorts and dad’s hedge fund lawyers.
The cult of personality that adheres to the philosophy of being “self-made” doesn’t help, but anti-union practices by the US’ ruling class have been exercised since the industrial revolution, and meanwhile government has hardly ever stepped in to regulate or break monopolies.
You guys are getting raises?
Yes, but i went above and beyond
I knew someone had to have said it… Lol… I don’t even need to scroll further to see if there was anyone else.
Job hopping again for this reason. Really wish employers would pay people to stay, unfortunately employer loyalty is non existant.
"We’re making record profits!!!..
…No Steve, you can’t have a raise. Here’s a bag of Fritos!"
awwww man…
Steve, if you keep complaining with your coworkers, you’ll be fired. You know what, you’re fired. And your coworkers, too, the company can’t keep up with your expenses.
We made record profits but we projected unattainable goals so you can’t have a raise
I believe I got 3.2% this year and 2.8% next year, or in other words, I got completely shafted. Doesn’t even cover food cost going up.
and they say inflation is good
Inflation is bad. Deflation is bad. It’s all bad, really.

3% raise, huh? How about no raise
My wife just got a 4% pay increase but then the insurance premium went up by 11%. So she really got an 7% pay demotion.
Her insurance premium is 100.2% of her salary?
Maybe, I obviously don’t math well
Ugh, similar here.
'Muricans flexing with 3% inflation
