Remember, any raise less than seven percent is a pay cut.

Just so self absorbed, inwards looking and delusional.
Inflation as a pay cut LOL. Time to learn the life lesson of budgeting. Your parents will be happy to see your newfound self reliance… and in a few years you will as well.
RTO as a pay cut. These millennials really are a hoot. So entitled, so special, so unprepared for adulthood.
You cant expect BNYM to cover for the id--t in the White House
Ok, Boomers.
I would hold 30s, pushing 14.
Nobody likes to work for a living. Unfortunately that’s how it’s always been done in the past, going back to the beginnings of history. Understood that it’s hard to learn this lesson in your mid 30s.
Apparently Arrested Development isn’t just a band…
A coddled generation learning life lessons 2 decades later than any other.
Ugh, Millennials ARE adults. We are in our 30s, pushing 40. We just don't like the way things were done in the past and are trying to make life a little more enjoyable. Take a chill pill old timer.
Perhaps we could award participation trophies for those honoring RTO?
Who gaslighted you and how? Did they actually ask you to come to work or something? The sheer fragility of the millennial mind doesn’t bode well for their futures. Stunningly unprepared for adult lives.
Factor in RTO as a pay cut? This would be great as stand up comedy but I think that you are believing it?
Millennials, a raise that is less than inflation isn’t a pay cut. The bank has increased costs just as you do. Google 1980 stagflation, even and odd gas rationing days, 20% interest rates 100% inflation (I.e. value of a dollar cut to 50 cents) in a decade. And Oh… I forgot, … 20% mortgage interest rates..
You want to resolve it? Talk to the man in the mirror, get educated & Vote better.
@jyf that's exactly what they did. They handed me a 0% raise and fed me something about how they invested in WFH technology. Then the next year it was 4% in the midst of 8% inflation, plus RTO. And a story about how I should be grateful because I got a better raise than others. So I left, I'm not going to tolerate cheapness and gaslighting.
Also factor in RTO as a pay cut in general. That logic may appear to have some flaws, but I wouldn't rule out that raises were miniscule/nonexistent in 2021 and they probably used that as a justification to not give as much. "Hey guys the economy was rough this year because of COVID so merit increase is 0%, but at least you saved thousands on not having to commute!"
