    what the fuck? you get less than 5% raise in a year in the US?

    edit: in light of responses, I’d like to reiterate, what the fuck… this is the most obscenely wealthy country in the world.

      People are lucky to get a raise at all. Much less 5%, usually it’s 1 or 2. For at least a decade the only way to significantly increase your pay has been to move jobs.

      Most people are lucky to get 2%… my company set the max at 2.5 last year and you only got that if you were IT Jesus
