Get raise, everything gets more expensive, rent goes up, back to paycheck to paycheck, repeat until death
Yep, a "cost of living" raise is not a "raise". I'm just making the same amount in today's dollars.
By the time you got the reasise that money has been inflated ie economic value is extracted hence why most people will always live paycheck to paycheck. The system works great for it wss designed for.
Asking for raise is a symbolic gesture since you got switch jobs to a raise. But it is has important valuez making management waste time tell you no while feeling "uncomfortable"
