Today I found out my raise for this year is 2.5%. I’m leaving my current industry in six months. My sweet boss just thought that 2.5% was amazing and thought that with such a great raise I might want to reconsider leaving. The US inflation rate was reported at 7.5% in February. I’m sorry that I hurt your feelings by not jumping for joy, but when the company has reported record profits for 2 years….why is my pay not being increased to 2.5% ABOVE the rate of inflation? I’m not doing cartwheels that my pay is going to be more but still worth 5% less than it was worth last year at this time…
