Some of the responses in this thread show why wage stagnation is a ongoing problem.
Inflation is money in your pocket losing value. So instead of blaming orgs, push your politicians to raise the minimum wage, then higher income folks can then more easily negotiate for their own higher pay.
Good talent/quality is a competitive advantage between orgs (capitalism good!), but nothing to do with macro economic factors like inflation (unchecked capitalism bad!). It's easy to blame the price tag in front of you, but that's not the problem, the shit economic policies and greed in the polictical class causing inflation.
We collectively get our balls drained better than most, so let's use our post-nut "sage-mode" more effectively, yes?
