Year over year my raises (1%) are routinely less than the rate of inflation. The company tacks on an adjustment every so often when it remembers that we could walk out and get better pay immediately elsewhere but doesn't realize the baseline problem. If they were just keeping up with regular […]

If someone out there knows Carole Cadwalladr personally, please ask her to put her new newsletter anywhere but Substack.
