Community Voices

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • “Title promotions without pay raises are not as attractive as leadership seems to think.”
  • “3% COLA raise when inflation jumped from 2.4 to 3.3 and expected to hit 4.2% is like saying 'I understand COL is high, but, 🤷‍♂️'”
  • “If she got a better title without a raise, that’s sort of insulting.”
  • “With current inflation at 3.3% I guess the cola is a 0.3% net loss, so now this strong employ has more experience and less spending power.”
