Not surprising. Many companies brag about record profits but won't give raises that match or exceed inflation. Only way to get a proper raise is to change jobs.

    True and I have seen it practice in my own career and in the careers of my peers. You have to "quit your way to the top."

    Study after study shows job-hopping is the optimal strategy to maximize salary. It's a shame the companies themselves don't see benefit in incentivizing loyalty.

    So many companies doing backdoor layoffs by:

    1. Make remote work policy really favorable and prominently advertised

    2. Allow employees to get comfortable - many move further from office locations to save money

    3. Suddenly require in-person work, even for people for whom the commute is now unreasonable
