If they tell you it was a scream test, and it turns out your team was actually pretty important and also gives you a raise, you might. Especially if you have nothing else lined up.

And especially if you're not a tech worker, so you can't exactly chill out and wait for a better gig to fall on your lap.

(Though recently, even in tech changing jobs is much more precarious than it ever was.)

Yeah that's the thing, the government can't unilaterally give raises like that. reason #20 this was a horrible move.

Sadly, yes. I do find the irony here that the FEDS said the economy was recovering and Trump promised to fix inflation and make jobs. Then he's taking advantsge of the bad market to force people he abused back.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I spent a dollar, because then, I'd have all my money back
