Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this?
snooggums@midwest.social 7 months agoIt was always a stupid fucking term that equates doing a job with quitting.
Not increasing pay isn’t quit firing, because there is no firing. It is just businesses being stingy.
Not increasing pay with inflation is a pay cut because your pay is literally worth less without it.
In a sane world, if the fed is dictating the money supply, with their actions directly impacting inflation, every workers pay should be indexed to inflation. Same goes for taxation, welfare payments, etc. Companies raise their prices regardless.
I agree it’s a dumb term, so I made up my own dumb term. (At least I think I made it up)
Employees are allowed to be just as stingy as businesses.

it’s constructive dismissal.

Only if it targets specific employees with the goal of getting them to quit. If the business doesn’t give raises in general they are just being cheap.

I feel like meeting that to a legal level is a stretch. Minor cost of living raises that don’t need inflation don’t rise to that level in my uneducated understanding

Yeah it wasn’t entirely serious.
