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?
