Just learned that my 13.3% pay rise to cover 16.7% inflation in the same timespan is actually a 4.6% pay raise. (hexbear.net)

By eliminating the “Jahressonderzahlung”, colloquially known as “Weihnachtsgeld”, which effectively was a 13th monthly wage at the end of the year, my workplace effectively upended the minimum wage increase from 2022 and the subsequent pay raise for my pay grade, which is barely more than minimum wage anyway. God, I hate being poor. Time to organise some people.

My last couple years' raises were 3%, 3%, 2%, 0%. Every time they make sure to include a bit saying "This is a merit-based increase, it is not a cost of living increase". Okay, so where's the COLA raise you fucks?

Yeah, I am paid according to a collective agreement. And in the position I’m in, I don’t exactly have much bargaining power unless I can organise a substantial number of people.
