> Inflation is universal and companies increase their prices accordingly, yet workers never require increase of their salaries, usually until years later. Every (shitty) company: Best year ever! Profits are up XX%! Investors are happy! Sorry, there's no money for raises.

Even worse: "Best year ever! Profits are up XX%! Investors are happy! Sorry, there's no money for raises. Also, we're laying some of you off." That's exactly what Activision-Blizzard did in 2019. They announced record profits, and in the same week announced the layoff of 800 workers. https://www.polygon.com/2019/2/12/18222096/blizzard-layoffs-february-2019 https://www.polygon.com/2019/2/12/18222096/blizzard-layoffs-...

  It may seem odd at first impressiom, but profits are about the past, layoffs are about the future, so its also not nonsensical.

    That seems like improper management to me.

      Improper management is report past results as results and making forward decisions based on forward prospects? Or…what, exactly?
