Inflation sure can’t be ignored. But don’t kid yourself if you think fully accounting for it gets most of us anywhere near breaking even.
I normally agree with you, but this is just silly. That goes without saying. And all of us who are in lower paying seats than before are fully aware.
My point remains. Apples and apples. The first 11-15% of what you are getting paid in your current seat is not a raise.
