Generally across the corporate world, wages have stagnated, hours have gone up and technology has destroyed any pretension of work life balance so to keep employees placated they make your place of employment a lifestyle, a brand, to keep you excited and ignoring the worsening conditions.

The company I work for is based out of a different state. They’re HR team makes more because of cost of living. Well, that has changed dramatically and over the last 3 years my state has soared passed theirs. Our team has not received inflation adjustment and we still make less than the team in our base office because of “cost of living”. My team and I have worked hard to demonstrate this but we are not being heard. The obvious would be to look elsewhere but other than this issue, I’m happy here
