Exactly. This is also what pisses me off regarding reporting on strikes and wage negotiations. If you're going to report on these accurately, any raise less than the rate of inflation should be called a pay cut. The fact that some workers have to strike to get even a 2% pay increase in an 8% inflation environment is nuts.
- tarotuser 4y agoYep. I was also one of those employees that was "given" a 2% raise. I made a point to say, "So, that's a 6% pay cut when comparing to inflation?" The call got real quiet, and then moved on to other topics. Lest to say, with the pervasive "chilling" of the job market, I will stay put for a time... But I definitely did update my resume. New hire budgets are always better monied than retention budgets.
