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.

sort of, inflation is not the same across all goods and services

for example, your 2023 salary might be able to buy less food and rent, but you can probably get more bang for buck in the form of Funko pops and cheap electronics

Most importantly, if you own property with a fixed-rate mortgage that's a big chunk of outgoings not affected by inflation, and it's actually appreciating in value (albeit in a way that's usually not especially useful in your day-to-day life cause you have to live somewhere).

Of course, I'm not bringing that into the conversation when I'm bitching to management about my crap-rear end salary increment

I feel like you can never excessively remind everyone that a few percent on a 30 year mortgage rate dramatically changes the affordability of a house’s monthly payment. like on a 30 year fixed changing from 4% to 6% is a 25% increase in the monthly payment. 4% to 8% is 53%.

Confirm. I used to work at one of the biggest craft breweries in the country and openly told my salary to a work buddy who’d been there for 3 more years than I had and was still hourly. Admittedly my pay was dog poo poo, but his was that much worse.

He had a chat with our boss and got his pay increased, which made my boss mad at me. Like some lovely X-er “I don’t know why you younger people discuss salary, it’s wrong” poo poo which :lol::lol: I’m open about it because I know we’re all getting hosed over, you stupid piece of poo poo.

There's a similar thing with an indian place near me, it's just the next step in the whole google and and yelp/door dash SEO poo poo where they put their auto generated poo poo that takes a fee ahead of the real restaurant contact info.

It's weird, the one indian place that's across the street from me had just their site, then one fake site, and two, to the point now that there are 3 fake sites that all appear before their real one.

E:I like that Doctorow says as much in his thread, that really this is just the next step in copying those other sites in rentseeking

real heros of this story are the restaurant who takes the time to call people and re-enter their order at the correct, lower price. they don't have to give a poo poo, unless the scammers are prone to chargebacks to eke out that last little bit of profit

I work in the kind of consulting where job security is basically 110%. Among the consultants, especially the younger ones, compensation is discussed very openly, which has generated some great raises, and taught young women to ask for big bucks. The support staff is less open, and also paid less from what I've heard.

So yeah, always discuss salary and also if you went in to discuss compensation and your boss didn't look unhappy afterwards, you asked for too little.

lol I worked with a woman who did the same job as I did (technically anyway, my job was slightly different but whatever) she has a phd and I don't but we started at different salary ranges, so I told her how much I made (which was significantly more). a week or so later there was a division wide email that said although it's not illegal to discuss salary you still shouldn't do it. she eventually quit and found a better job.

when I became a supervisor they had to bump up my pay because I see how much all the people that I "supervise" (I do HR poo poo that's about it) make. since they all have masters or phds their pay is higher and they didn't want me to get mad and leave.
