Yep, been at this job 10 years and only seeing annual raises of about 2%. Maybe we got 3-4% last year, but that was the exception and that was still a 4-5% paycut given what inflation is/was. I'm comfortable at my job though is what keeps me, and I'm sure that's what businesses bank on. Workers are too afraid to look elsewhere for a job, so they'll just stick it out no matter how much they're losing.
