I did something similar to this but I misremembered the figure. So I got to watch my boss fiddle and fumble for the courage to say ‘actually it was only an X% raise, not Y%’

“A major topic of the town hall meeting was the push to get [sales number] by the end of the year. We did the same thing last year and I got a 2% raise. What is my incentive to make you money if my raises don’t even match inflation?”
Even if it’s anonymous, my boss knows it’s me. This way I can bring it up in my review as a callback as opposed to trying to awkwardly work it in to the conversation

LOL I like it, take it one step further too: “…and you’ll be hearing about this shit during my performance review!”

If a “raise” doesn’t even cover inflation, it’s not a raise

Yes agreed. I make about 2% less than what I was hired at adjusted for inflation after 3 years despite doing a lot more work. If I don’t get a 10% raise, I’ll be calling back the recruiter who has been trying to poach me for 3 years.
