Ask HN: How to ask employer to match inflation rate, independent of pay rise
by tsujp on Hacker News.
Let’s say I am earning $100,000 and inflation for the year is 5%; sure I am still earning $100,000 but the actual value of that money is worth 5% less. If this isn’t adjusted I have effectively taken a pay cut of 5%. Independent of raises based on things like role changes or good performance how can I stress that I really dislike the idea of not having my salary keep up with inflation, and then how can I best go about ensuring that my employer keeps the salary up to date with inflation?
