A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

If a "raise" doesn't even cover inflation, it's not a raise.

Edit: The best raises I've ever received were from leaving a job to a new job

Yes agreed. I make about 2% less than what I was hired at adjusted for inflation after 3 years despite doing a lot more work. If I don't get a 10% raise, I'll be calling back the recruiter who has been trying to poach me for 3 years.
