I got my first yearly merit increase!

A whopping 2.5% from 17.23 to 17.66. When mentioning to my supervisor that my very large multinational company posted nearly $15 billion in net profits last year and the top five execs made almost $100 million, I was told “no company gives raises in line with inflation. I've been here 14 years and that's how it's always been.” Not going to call out this company because they have a very large social media presence and a not great reputation, and I have no prospects lined up for a new job.
