I'm in the US, I've got a solid job, everyone I know says I'm lucky to get raises every year. My raises are still consistently slightly under inflation. Lots of the people I work with don't understand why that means we're not actually getting raises, and nobody wants to rock the boat and risk the small amount we do gain each year. It's wild over here
