Is it 'abusing' inflation if I ask my company for a larger raise due to inflation?

  Yeah if its more then the inflation itself and you are doing it under the guise of inflation it's manipulative. Lots of products jumped 50% in grocery stores here, main argument was gas prices, then gas prices went down, still prices went up. And record profits as well.

    I think that companies are always trying to make the most profit per unit sold. Inflation may have provided a stimulus that led to the companies being able to increase their prices, even beyond the increase in costs, but the inflation had to already be there for this to happen. I don't think it's really abuse; they are free to charge whatever they want.
