if your raise is lower than the rate of inflation it's not a raise.

    Inflation is dependent on the country you live in, many countries use different indexs to measure inflation and usually people tend to pick the one that benefits them the most.

    Leaving a three word comment simplifying something quite ambiguous is laughable

    Their point was even if you say its only 4% (costs are way higher)

    The person is making less than they were the previous year.

    The latest report from a day or so ago said 4.2% so I dunno what you are trying to say. They were trying to be brief and just point out that a raise less than inflation is decrease overall

    Ha! Three percent? I haven't had any raise since 2016. Yes, I'm now making less than I did in pre-covid. This timeline sucks.

    Thing is, you wouldn't mind if he used his vast wealth for the betterment of humanity. You know, like how he used to market himself before the pedoguy event.

    Instead he uses it to promote right wing politics, marginalised vulnerable groups and trying to get richer for the betterment of Elon.

    I like to think that if I was ever lucky enough to have a billion, anything over it would be used to support causes I believe in... Oh wait that's what he's doing, it's just his beliefs are messed up.

    No, I would very much care. Even the most well intentioned person will cause harm in attempting to help if they don't empower those facing the problems to fix them. No philanthropic effort is structured like that, they're always designed to heap accolades on the philanthropist, meaning it must be their ideas, meaning it will definitely cause more harm than good.

    I got one pay cut in 2020, from a hourly rate I started getting in 2018 with the same company.

    What the heck is a pay rause? Am I saying that right?
