I understand that there are shareholders and costs increase, but surely the cost increases should be at the rate of inflation?
I know a load of companies increase by like 3.9% + Inflation every year – so why is it that when employees get pay rises they’ll always be less than the rate of inflation?
Doesn’t that just mean employees get poorer every time? Where does the extra 3.9% money actually go? Where does the difference between employees payrises and rate of inflation go?
Are all companies just screwing their employees or is there some other reason I’m not realizing?
In: Economics
Because their employees accept them. It’s beena long time since someone could force you to work for them in America. If you don’t like the compensation, employees can leavea nd take better-paying jobs. IF there are no better-paying jobs for your skill-level in your career iun your area, then it looks your employer is paying appropraite competetive wages.
If you don’t like your raise, quit and go work somehere that pays you what you want.
