Yeah, welcome to IT where you basically have to change jobs every 2 years to get paid what you’re actually worth. Your alternative is either no raise at all or something that amounts to a “COLA” that doesn’t keep up with inflation, and is therefore a passive paycut.
The writer for this story is just trying to send their boss a subtle hint before the upcoming round of performance reviews.
This has been the norm for all my working years.
Many, many decades worth of this, and yet people will still ardently defend inflationary monetary policy. Serious leopard face eating shit :/
Inflation is just a scape-goat. The issue is a lack of worker bargaining power.
Yep. Best raise I ever got was 5%. Only beat inflation by moving up the ladder or, better, moving companies.
