Tbh this year has been financially great for me. Very little expenses due to shelter in place. No pay cut and still ended up getting a pretty solid bonus at work. Increased my net worth by 70-80% too in the past 12 months.

Fighting Salary Compression

I have 15+ years vesting in current company/ position, 25 years over all. I love my job!
But for the past 3 years I’m told that my yearly annual increases will be decreased due to reaching a salary ceiling. 2% rate increases barely kept pace with rate of living, especially after this years 8-12% inflation increase. Also, new employees are now being hired at a higher rate.

Anyone else experience this issue? How and what is the best course of action to address?
