Inflation was 3.4% in the US in 2023 and is already 3.2% in 2024. That's actually better than a decent number of industrial nations.

Chances are, you didn't get a raise, you got a pay cut.

Haha don't even get me started on cost of living. Groceries have almost tripled in price since I started working. Nevermind rent.

And those are the bullshit government inflation stats, so he definitely got a pay cut.

Yeah the only real raises now are random COLAs to stop employee exoduses, and of course, changing jobs.

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
