Man I've been taking it easy at work ever since getting layed off; anyway, but a co-worker of mine on the same team works like a demon. Easily, easily closing double the tickets that I do.
Anyway, young guy, good for him. The shitter is we both got the same piddly little 2% raise.
I'm working my wage and not planning to stick around anyway, but I feel bad for those who aren't totally jaded yet. It's so disappointing

Inflation was 3.4% in the US in 2023 and is already 3.2% in 2024. That's actually better than a decent number of industrial nations.
Chances are, you didn't get a raise, you got a pay cut.
Haha don't even get me started on cost of living. Groceries have almost tripled in price since I started working. Nevermind rent.
And those are the bullshit government inflation stats, so he definitely got a pay cut.
Yeah the only real raises now are random COLAs to stop employee exoduses, and of course, changing jobs.
