Yeah I read theory https://faculty.georgetown.edu/jod/texts/twain.german.html
This is so true and so funny.
Do you mean pay cut in the title?
Something similar happened to my friend, he was excited about a pay raise at the end of the year but I showed him it actually was effectively a cut as it was below the yearly inflation. Pretty bad times.
It was still a nominal raise, but it was basically negligible in nominal terms and not even remotely sufficient to counteract inflation over the same period.
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.
:-) I got a raise from $19/hr to $20.75/hr in March 2022, which is close to 10% (it's actually like 9.61% but whatever - they didn't wanna give me an extra $0.15/hour or just even it out to $21/hr and yet the bastards wonder why I refuse to participate in the weekly virtual coffee hour)
i think inflation outpaced that increase by June 2022. I still haven't seen any real tangible benefit to the extra $1.75/hr. That additional ~$300/month just barely covers the higher cost of groceries I suppose.... (or at least that's what I tell myself when it's near the end of the month, my landlord is sending me rent requests, and I'm wondering how I spent like $1400 after tax in between the 15th and the 1st
