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 mean this is a HR thottie but holy shit her advice is infinitely better than... whatever the frick this dude did.
Your company is always going to go with 2-4% pay bump. They don't go by inflation they go by median salary, market, etc. There is no company loyalty or whatever, gold watch retirement has no been a thing for decades now.
The only way if you desire to get something like a 10-40% paypump is to
apply to another job thats equal or better than your current position. Either a promotion within the company or moving on somewhere else.
OR if you're like me and a hot commodity, if you're looking for second job same/similar field and another company sends you an offer you can go back to your original company and see if they'll beat it. I literally went from like 136k to 150k doing this.
But if you're a shit worker and nobody likes you, like OP it seems, you're not going to get shit. Get gud, be market desirable, then you get raises you should get.
