WASHINGTON (AP) — Prices for U.S. consumers jumped 6.2% in October compared with a year earlier as surging costs for food, gas and housing left Americans grappling with the highest inflation rate since 1990.
One of my neighbors quit his gig when the company refused a cost of living increase for workers working from home. My neighbor had been working from home before the pandemic and had always got a COL. The company he left sells home entertainment systems and made record profits last year, and all the execs got fat bonuses. From what I understand they've lost half of their sales force who made that record year possible, and they don't even care.
