You will miss these good days. Central banks across the world have thrown open the monetary floodgates. Inflation will run hot while AI steadily erodes job security. Save relentlessly, buy gold and hard assets. If you can, secure a higher pay elsewhere while the window is still open. If you don’t already own a home, buy one and make sure it comes with a patch of ground to grow food. If you can’t do any of this, get yourself into a billable assignment, fast. When cuts come unbillable individual contributors and midlevel managers + VP level executives will be the first heads to roll. What follows are travel, promotion, salary and all possible CapEx freezes then job and pay downgrades dressed up as “restructuring” and finally the sale or outright shutdown of parts of the business and service offerings as part of the investor exit plan.
We have a great new strategy. We are going to give a pay rise every year on 1st April. That will stop all complaining. It will be 0.0% - but we have run the process. You didn't specify the terms of the rise, so the company has won the game again! Try harder if you want to win in 2027!
Sorry what year did staff get a pay rise?
CEO gets one every year and at the same time
