Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I've heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

My executive saying "Revenue is up 30% YoY! [...] Due to budget cuts we're limited to a 4% raise+CoL adjustment this year."

The places where corporate decides to penny-pinch is truly infuriating.

Baked into our medicore raises... yeah!

They give you a 3% raise even though inflation is 8% because if they didn't then you might decide that it's worth the effort of going through the job application process until someone else hires you at a 10% pay raise.

That sounds like a dream. Last place I worked aa an employee, we got "col" 9which was actually less than 1/3 the government-declared col) plus as much as 1.1% merit increase.

Typical raise for a high performer was around 2%.
