Have you gotten a raise in the last 3 years? No? Well, you took a 10%~ pay cut then. DEMAND a raise. Now.

This % doesn't include the price increase in food, rent, etc. Which makes it worse. This is only inflation. Let's assume your initial income three years ago was $100, and each year inflation was 5%. After three years, your income would be: Year 1: $100 Year 2: $100 – ($100 * 0.05) = $95 Year 3: $95 – ($95 * 0.05) = $90.25 Now, you can calculate the percentage decrease: Percentage Decrease = [($100 – $90.25) / $100] * 100 = (9.75 / 100) * 100 = 9.75% So, you took approximately a 9.75% pay cut in terms of purchasing power over the three-year period due to inflation. Now I'm no mathematician. I could be wrong. If I didn't get a pay raise and inflation is at 5%. Now factor in the price of food and rent which have gone up 10 to 100% on some areas. So, I hope…


This % doesn't include the price increase in food, rent, etc. Which makes it worse.

This is only inflation.

Let's assume your initial income three years ago was $100, and each year inflation was 5%. After three years, your income would be:

Year 1: $100
Year 2: $100 – ($100 * 0.05) = $95
Year 3: $95 – ($95 * 0.05) = $90.25

Now, you can calculate the percentage decrease:

Percentage Decrease = [($100 – $90.25) / $100] * 100 = (9.75 / 100) * 100 = 9.75%

So, you took approximately a 9.75% pay cut in terms of purchasing power over the three-year period due to inflation.


Now I'm no mathematician. I could be wrong.

If I didn't get a pay raise and inflation is at 5%. Now factor in the price of food and rent which have gone up 10 to 100% on some areas.

So, I hope to Zeus and Odin and Thor you are demanding a pay raise.

If you aren't, you are enjoying a nice pay cut.
