Man I’ve been taking it easy at work ever since getting layed off; anyway, but a co-worker of mine on the same team works like a demon. Easily, easily closing double the tickets that I do.
Anyway, young guy, good for him. The shitter is we both got the same piddly little 2% raise.
I’m working my wage and not planning to stick around anyway, but I feel bad for those who aren’t totally jaded yet. It’s so disappointing

Inflation was 3.4% in the US in 2023 and is already 3.2% in 2024. That’s actually better than a decent number of industrial nations.
Chances are, you didn’t get a raise, you got a pay cut.
And those are the bullshit government inflation stats, so he definitely got a pay cut.
Yeah the only real raises now are random COLAs to stop employee exoduses, and of course, changing jobs.
Haha don’t even get me started on cost of living. Groceries have almost tripled in price since I started working. Nevermind rent.
