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.
Unions in my country: “we had to halve the salary increase demands because increased salaries are causing inflation”
… yeah
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!
aint any normal and functioning person trying yo vote a communist party here in Estonia. pretty sure SDE is the most left-wing party.
as a normal and functioning person, i prefer liberty over capitalism (since the latter always eventually seeks to silence those who strive for labour rights).
just ask anarchist and council communists, they want a society without greed and without authoritarianism. e.g. through decentralisation, unionisation, and fully worker-owned co-operatives.
That is: a workplace without greedy CEOs. and also ideally, a gift economy wherein abundant and rationed by need wherein non-abundant.
Communism has a horrible reputation in Estonia that cannot be changed.
Specifically, stalinism and marxism-leninism.
I’m not so sure it would have that reputation for anarchocommunism.
it would, it’s attached to communism and has it in it’s name.
It saddens me to hear that stigma. For authoritarian forms I can understand, but for liberationist forms, it’s a pity. We need to overcome that stigma imposed by red and cash fascists.
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 $8 worse off just in terms of the rent per month.
What a stupid, stupid fucking system.
I think its crazy that there are places where you just randomly, for no reason, get the rent of your current residence increased on you. I feel like that alone should tell you the priorities of your current and past governments.
It’s not for “no reason” buddy. How else is my landlord and their family gonna eat if I don’t put food on their table?
And they deserve the very best, and they know I definitely can’t afford to buy that for them (as much as I would love to), which is why they kindly and cleverly have put together a grassroots community effort and in a way “crowdfunded” their own lavish lifestyle by purchasing literally dozens of properties and jacking up the rent every year by hundreds of dollars a month. It’s all a community thing!
They live in a mansion. I’ve seen their house. They have a fucking pool.
Post is missing
Raise is 100$ a month brutto
Rent raised 100$ a month netto
Hmmm… This gives me an idea.
takes a pay cut
prices increase
Fuck!
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.
You guys get pay raises?
you guys get paid?
last two times i got paid in tacos. worth it.
AI don’t need to be paid, silly toaster.
meanie :(
Unless the pay was greater then inflation you had a pay cut.
It’s like in a video game where you unlock new skills and weapons but the enemies health increases too. It’s fine once you’ve done a couple runs and know the best way to optimise the effectiveness of your build, but you only get one shot at life :(
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.
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.
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.
inflation goes up … keep waiting for pay raise
