This one hit harder than I expected. I got a raise of $4K after taking on an extra team. And increased cost of living ate most of it. Anyone else feeling unappreciated to the max?

I can relate! It’s frustrating when a raise doesn’t feel like enough. The rising cost of living makes it hard to feel appreciated. Many are in the same boat. It’s tough out there!

On one hand, it’s nice that the raise was there to help balance the cost of living, on the other, a “raise” just balancing things out is tough to swallow. Agree that it’s feeling all the harder to show up for work, give my all, and then struggle with some past due bills.
