My job has been on a “salary freeze” for multiple years now.

I feel confident they’ll never start back up again, because it would likely trigger a huge push from employees who have endured this backlog demanding what they’re owed.

So my question is: When were your last TWO pay increases from your current job? (Not changing jobs, from the same employer)

Share what context is relevant, but I’m wondering if employers are just stopping pay increases for current employees altogether?

Have you not received any cost of living increases? For how may years have you been frozen? What is keeping you there? Have you decreased your work production in relation to the percentage of your missing salary raises?

What you are experiencing is not normal.
The freezes are effectively pay cuts.

Why are you staying?

If you can’t find a comparable job, that’s your answer. You are overpaid for the value of your role.

You can change industry, or carry on, your call.

I have found yearly to be normal. Normally small raises as well, but they happen yearly.

3% both times. I asked for a deserved raise and they sort of said "we don't do that much". Long story short, I am now on the lookout for other opportunities.
