And now, since the start of inflation, in the last year, the value of a dollar has eroded 13%. Have you gotten a 13% raise just to maintain your cost of living?

No.
Of course we haven't. Of course we never will. To paraphrase my current CEO: "Cost of living adjustments have never been a part of our pay raises."
And also, of course, as a public company they won't cut into their record profits and growth to take care of their employees. To quote Wall Street: "Grow or Die."
How do they expect to fucking keep talent when we can just jump house and make that much more to companies that have adjusted to inflation?
Intern conversions and new hires. Business people see us as cogs, not skilled craftsmen. You keep skilled resources, you replace cogs.
Plus, there’s always those who have drunk the koolaide and, despite being seen and treated like cogs, can’t imagine ever leaving the company; can’t imagine their leaders as anything but benevolent.
