Wage theft is the most lucrative theft there is.
And then inflation on groceries is really 15%, but they tell you it’s 3.5.
They measure inflation by commodity prices, not shelf prices. Basically how much more the corporations have to pay, while the consumers are paying proportionally far more.
No, they changed how it's measured so great value is the same as lays
Do you mean shrinkflation?
Second year in a row I get "exceeds expectations", can't wait for that juicy 3.1%!!
On the other hand, I find it funny that the past two years I've been doing the bare minimum at work, sometimes not even that and my boss has been very happy with my performance 🤷🏼♂️
I work for a state government. We didn’t get a raise last year because the lovely politicians couldn’t be bothered. And this year they are splurging and giving us 3%. Yay….
I have this situation as well. I slack off as much as possible and everyone thinks I'm going above and beyond. It's very interesting. I like it a lot.
How appropriate.
Wow, they want to make lifetime not an option then! I think it was £90 when I grabbed it. And then I was a little regretful because people were getting deals from time to time half that.
Yeah, I grabbed the "all decks always" for Evil Apples (sorta like Cards Against humanity as an app, but better) very early when it was $10, up from an original $5.
Last I checked it was $200+ 😄
Everything needs to be burned down
I like the way you think.
Nah! This year we're doing great! How's 5% sound like!? Eh? Its almost double last year!
