not sure that everyone is getting a raise this year.

  After a layoff, I'm making less in nominal terms (forget real terms) than I did in 2020. That said, I'm in a much happier position (sadly I think only for the time being) than I was after escaping a private-equity-created misery factory, so that's a plus at least.

      Oh, I think Private Equity is quite in control of a large portion of the macro economy, much to the horror of American workers.
