Some days ago I was in the emergency room from around 17 to a bit after 1, mostly waiting around of course, and I'd brought a pocket book but I couldn't focus on the text*. So 2048 saved my sanity pretty much.

*) Yeah I'm old and should get glasses but also my BP was almost 180/110.

I could've sworn the original Angry Birds had mtx, albeit at the much lower level most things had it back then when the boundaries were still being tested

The term 7th grader is actually anti labour since it implies that kids that age should always go to school instead of doing something productive.

Today I got my raise which clearly shows the percentage as 2.19% of the total base.

Then I did a cursory google search and found out that inflation was 6.5% in 2022.

That can't be right. That would mean I'm making.... less money? The absolute gently caress? Someone get me my manager's manager.

I also got 2%, and told my managers manager that I was deeply unimpressed because of inflation, and she was all "yeah I know it sucks, wish there was something I could do about it, inflation's about 14% here [implying she was also suffering]". I know for a fact she makes north of 400k+ annually.

If it wasn't for the fact that I make decent money at a job I can quarter-rear end from home, I would actually make an effort to jobsearch.

"Oooh, got a little too serious. You okay there, little buddy?"
start giving everyone in the company equal amounts of dollar value raises, such as everyone gets a 10k raise, not 3%, until the low end and high end get more equitable

my department got an 8% bump in budget which left me with about 100k increase in payroll for 22 people. everyone of my people deserves more and it sucks trying to stretch it to everyone. why won’t anyone think of the managers???

Adjust your output accordingly. 2 years of inflation nearing 10% here with raises of between 2-4% and the company nixxed our pensions in favor of a bigger 'profit sharing contribution' to our 401ks (which this year with record profit was set at 3% of salary).

Same here, I got 5% but also live in Seattle, home of the 2k/mo studio apartment. Unfortunately I loving hate my boss and have zero professional development opportunities so I'm actively job searching. Id rather work more than have to deal with a boss that's afraid of using scripts to do simple tasks.

Yeah it's ridiculous that promotions or even just hopping from company to company is the only way to get a competitive non-union wage. I put 10 years in a place and was making almost half the market rate for my position when I left, and they seriously balked and felt I was bluffing when I was on my way out. Probably because around the 5 year mark it took me getting another offer to get anything resembling a real raise. Previously it was something like a sub 1% raise on years where I perfomed well.

Lmao capitalism rocks

am I reading this chart wrong or does the dark blue/worst score average out to about 700? I mean that’s not an impeccable score or anything but it’s by no means bad, I would have legit expected poor areas to be like 600 or below.
