How's your life doing?

Gotta rob the bank

I got 1.5% for the last 3 years and only half my bonus potential.

Shit, my last raise was less than 2%. We all voted in the union after that. Let’s see if that helps

You guys are getting raises?

I got fired and now I’m pissed, I was fried for raising health concerns with our food products. I love the world we live in, I could see it burn.

Edit: Who needs grammar?

Housing prices have doubled in 5 years

I lucked out and got a better paying job mid covid. However, with inflation, I ended up breaking even

OK. Hear me out.

What we do, is print another 20 Billion.

And send it to Ukraine, Israel and Palestine.

.....I think it might just work.

Samezies

I wish turkiye did only have 7.5%. We get that as breakfast everyday.

As a manager who’s responsible for distributing annual raises. I’m expected by my managers to determine if their last year of work is worth 3%. I disregarded that and gave them all 3%.

Yeah, some may not have been as deserving, but when you underpay your employees from the start, eventually, you get what you pay for.

I’m tired of companies expecting an employee to give the effort of a 30/hr employee at a 20/h wage. Pay for what you expect, and expect for what you pay for.

Set your employees up with a solid live able wage. That does two things:

1. Makes your own employees take their job more seriously because they may not be able to make that money somewhere else - accountability. If you’re not performing, you’re out the door.

2. Makes your company more desirable so that people are always applying. This creates competition with other companies in the area. Drawing in the higher motivated/experienced crowd giving your company more people work with. More people = work distributed = good morale = success profitable business.

You also have a backup plan if you have to terminate a current employee who is not performing without completing shorting yourself of an employee.

Yes, this plan does increase your companies annual wages. However, if you’re having to pay the equal amount in incident/production loss costs at the end of the year, wouldn’t you rather just invest that money back into your own people who are the ones actually making the money?

As an argentinian, WHAT THE FUCK IS AN ECONOMY!!!

UC offered 3% raise and said no to all of our contract reforms, then we went on strike. After strike? Average raise was about 50% and we got most of our contract reforms including parental leave. Unions and strikes work

Biggest raise I’ve had since I started my job 7 years ago is 1.5%

My hospital decided they can only afford a .4% raise due to lack of funding after buying out an entire other hospital franchise because of record breaking profits

You guys got raises? I just got fired! 😋

1.6% here lol (Sweden)

You know, I’d love it if pay was automatically adjusted for inflation. Don’t pay me $7.26 an hour, pay me 7.3 economy units or some shit.

I’m sure some finance nerd will come in and explain why that’s a terrible idea.

Dude, inflation in my country is 30% xD xD go home and be precious

At least the inflation rates are going down

Unpopular opinion incoming. Your employer presumably needs to profit in order to stay competitive in its market. It's your job to stay competitive in your workplace. It is not your employer's job to keep (you) up with inflation. Your savings and compounding interest should take care of that.

Literally got like a 0.03% pay rise for "all my hard work" this past year. Felt like absolute shite ngl

Sittin in Turkey with 59% inflation 🫥

There are 2 options for me now

This imply inflation is quickly rising and rising.

I got offered $1000 this last year as a raise, was told I was unreliable by upper management, because I went through all my sick leave.

I asked it I wasn't allowed to take my sick leave. He said "You are entitled to it, but you aren't going to be rewarded for taking it."

Worst thing that ever happened was my company being bought up by an overseas company. Bunch of fucking pencil pushers.

(By the way, I've been very sick since covid, off and on pneumonia, had bronchitis straight out of pneumonia, Grandma died and I had to help with funeral stuff, friend died, lots of crazy emotional fallout with all that, all in the one year)

I said this to him and he responded with "I have two children with learning disabilities, we all have stuff going on but we still make it work" as if problems aren't relative.

He also said the work I did over the year was fantastic, but I'm just not reliable enough to get a raise.

Ahh, makes me so mad just thinking about it.

You gotta get your own discount at self check out. If they dont adjust the balance, gotta do it yourself.

Capitalism at work

I got a 16% raise last week, but I had to leverage with job offers from other companies and threaten to leave.
