Due to inflation at its highest rate since 1982, I feel that I am not being paid enough. I can’t afford things on a day to day basis and I think I can make the same amount of money in gig jobs for cash downtown. During the Trump administration I was doing just fine financially - now it costs me so much just to get to work. Is it appropriate to have an inflation conversation with my bosses or should I just pick up shifts as a bartender at night - I need to make about 600 more a month to make it.

Couple it with a conversation about the value you’re bringing to the company or it is going to fall flat.

I wouldn’t threaten to leave unless you have an offer in hand. It’s really none of our business, but what are you getting paid as an account supervisor and what are you spending money on that is requiring you to get a second job? Inflation sucks and I’m feeling it too, but it’s like I need to be more mindful of my spending and budgets, not so much that requires a second job.

Honestly, the job market is very hot right now. If you’re under compensated, just have a honest conversation with your boss about your desired comp and if it’s not met - move jobs and I’m sure you’ll get a good jump. There’s no reason to overcomplicate it. The mid-senior level is where the demand is most at.

Right?!

Does your agency not do cost of living increase? As someone else said upthread, the market is hot right now and it shouldn't be hard to move agencies. Just tried to hire someone and the current employer aggressively counter-offered.

... If you're real that is... Mention of "getting to work" was so much cheaper under Trump has me wondering 😉

And you should have a salary conversation with your boss, not inflation!
