Nonono, the price of everything goes up first, and then you get a pay raise that doesn’t even cover the inflation rate even though unions are a thing in your country and you were literally striking.

Right? Falling behind is so 2022. Trying desperately to catch up is the new way.
I’ve had an exceptional performance pay rise, as well as a promotion pay rise in the job I started 3 years ago. My salary is now only 5k behind where it should be if it has kept up with inflation
And this is why it’s important to vote for socialist and communist parties, folks. They actually fight for your labour rights!
Lol, as well as all the groceries going up in price, my rat fuck landlord upped the rent by $130USD per month.
I had to push back on my employer at my annual review and ask for a bigger raise. I got the bigger raise. It still leaves me about $8 worse off just in terms of the rent per month.
What a stupid, stupid fucking system.
I think its crazy that there are places where you just randomly, for no reason, get the rent of your current residence increased on you. I feel like that alone should tell you the priorities of your current and past governments.
It’s not for “no reason” buddy. How else is my landlord and their family gonna eat if I don’t put food on their table?
And they deserve the very best, and they know I definitely can’t afford to buy that for them (as much as I would love to), which is why they kindly and cleverly have put together a grassroots community effort and in a way “crowdfunded” their own lavish lifestyle by purchasing literally dozens of properties and jacking up the rent every year by hundreds of dollars a month. It’s all a community thing!
They live in a mansion. I’ve seen their house. They have a fucking pool.
the reason the rent goes up is because costs go up. taxes go up, fees go up, and demand goes up.
bitch all you want about rent goign up, truth is if you aren’t willing to pay it then someone else is. you may think 1600 is expensive… i bet you 20 other people moving into your city/town thing it’s cheap.
my last apartment i paid an extra months rent to beat out the other people who wanted it.

Raise is 100$ a month brutto
Rent raised 100$ a month netto
Unless the pay was greater then inflation you had a pay cut.
You guys get pay raises?
you guys get paid?
AI don’t need to be paid, silly toaster.
meanie :(
last two times i got paid in tacos. worth it.
I got a 2% pay raise then got a letter saying that I’m in a new payscale and my insurance would go up.
fuck those clowns. “paying” for your raise by reducing the employer share of the premium.
I got the new insurance cost today, nothing changed from last year so this is a payscale factor and it the difference in cost is 1% of that 2% raise.
Soooo i got a 1% raise for 2025. I work for one of the largest companies in the world as an engineer.
100%. I get news about my yearly raise around the same time as my landlord raises my rent each year.
The percentage raise in rent is about 3x larger than the percentage raise in wages. Every year.
Why is that Posted on the political incorrectness board
Its just the politics board but its called politically incorrect
Yeah, too relatable and not enough crazy racism for pol, I am disappointed.
Hmmm… This gives me an idea.
takes a pay cut
prices increase
Fuck!
the greedy landlords can sniff it out too.
get a raise… or even just a tax refund check or one-time ‘credit’ (like the ‘stimulus’ shit), rent goes up at home.
business has decent quarter, rent goes up there, too.
it’s basically a guarantee. if you have money, they want it all
But you see, the price of eggs has dropped in the past several months so it all balances out.
Look at Mr Show Off over here with his fancy fuckin’ pay rise.
inflation goes up … keep waiting for pay raise
I told my boss that if I couldn’t get a raise then I’d have to quit. I go in to quit two weeks later and this fool goes " I gave you a raise, what more do you want" I said how much? He goes 89 cents, I didn’t tell you cause I wanted it to be a surprise" and I get quit right then lol
