  The situation is completely unhinged as more than 50 percent of inflation has been found to be driven by corporate profits.

    Please don't copy-paste comments on HN. It adds noise and makes it a pain to merge the threads.

  Weird. Here in Sweden we get, generally, a higher wage increase than normally. IT included, as far as I know. Honestly I think people would try jumping ship qiuckly if they did not get a yearly increase. On other hand, maybe thats the intended result. I guess the difference is that the compensation levels in IT here are not, and were never, close to the stratospheric levels as in the US.

    > I guess the difference is that the compensation levels in IT here are not, and were never, close to the stratospheric levels as in the US. Apart from maybe some few jobs in Switzerland I don't think anywhere else in the world is even close to the stratospheric levels of tech salaries in the USA...
