The man came for sympathy. Got nothing but dunks.
I simply cannot imagine a worse way to try to negotiate a raise at one's job than what OP has done
Are there work places that do in fact give 15% raises to keep up with inflation? I've never worked for a place that does this.
Yeah the "fabricated data" thing is needlessly combative IMO. This should have been a meeting not a text for starters and something more like "I did some research and according to this source, relative cost of living has increased 15% in the past 12 months" opens the same argument without accusing anyone of fraud.
OP is a bozo, and bozos never get what they want. There was a 0% chance his, uh, tact was going to work. Regardless, raises are based on the market and performance, not inflation! (+19)
I kneel to whoever sacrificed their account for a Milton Friedman LARP on this sub.
I dunno man, were you trying to get fired?

I know a real world anti worker and it's honestly the most pathetic thing ever. Had a 100k/year job as an engineer. Just up and quit one day because he wasn't feeling it. Been unemployed for 2 years and is apparently on the verge of having to dip into his 401k. The dude is pushing 40, and I can't help to cringe over his broke butt complaining about being treated unfairly at work.

The worst part is the positive feedback that sub generates. I bet your acquaintance feels even more validated by sinking further into the bottom.

He defended the dog walker mod by saying the fox guy was out to get him. Lmao. He was treated with kid gloves. Fox didn't have to make a fool of him because he did it himself.

Tiktok is full of hilarious advice like this lol.
People basically telling idiots to argue with their bosses about raises.
You can kind of tell the people making the videos or posting like this have never had a real job.
My favorite was the one about vacation days and threatening to bring HR into it.
Like sure, you might get those vacation days but your life is gonna suck after that.
