Comment on Got 1.5% raise after a year at job. Now what?parent

Comments

Inflation was 1.3% last year. I wouldn't call a 1.5% raise pay cut.

Hm, you're right. I hadn't realized inflation was so low last year.

I stand corrected, but I think the (corrected) statement holds true. Maybe not for this particular case, but if you get a raise that's less than inflation (or no raise at all), you're taking a pay cut and have every right to be upset.
