Oh, yeah. Every job I've worked at has given me """"cost of living"""" increases that are like, 1.5% per year. Yeah, lot of good that does me when rent increases here are pegged (sorry, 'capped at', as if a landlord won't always charge the maximum legally allowed) to inflation + 2%. This year, almost no one got even that.
Jumping jobs every 18 months, even if you're happy with where you are, solely to make your wages keep making sense has been the norm in the computer science industry for decades. It's probably going to spread everywhere soon.

It's like that in engineering too
Hey! Another engineer. My salary got cut this year and it's still not back to where it was. So, combined with inflation, doing worse than I should be.
