last year we got a COL adjustment only, company wide, due to he trade situation. I accepted that, it’s better than laying people off. my work output responded in kind, however, after a very high output past year.

the business has had a year to handle the trade situation. this year I am owed my merit raise from the year previous (lol they’re not gonna do fuck all about that) and a merit raise for 2025. let’s see what I get.
