- tunesmith 7y agoYeah, as a rule of thumb. Ultimately it's all about leverage over time. If you're temporarily indispensable and now more expensive, but still replaceable for cheaper in the medium term, that's not a great situation for you to be in.

And if everyone starts getting more expensive, then employers simply have to adjust over time.
