Find another job. You’ll quickly find out if you are worth the raise you wanted. My bet is you are.
Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this?
glimse@lemmy.world 6 months agoI’ve taken a pay cut two years in a row for that reason. Last year was somewhat understandable with the insane inflation but this year kind of stung

I’ve got my feelers out there but I’m gonna stick it out here for another year - currently working on a certification to switch to a higher-paid position and the company is paying for it

How is taking a pay cut when there’s massive inflation even remotely understandable? Inflation means that they need to pay you more, not less; your costs are rising.

Businesses don’t care about your costs. They care about paying as little as possible for as good a quality as they can.
Same way you don’t care if your grocery store mega chain got hacked and lost $300 million, that’s not your problem, if they raise the price of bread you’ll go somewhere else.

I mean it’s understandable that they didn’t give everyone 6.5% raises. That’s a pretty huge raise
