I work for a Fortune 500 company that made over 16 billion in profit last year. Nothing insane like the tech/AI companies that are raking it in hand over fist, but still.
Life is fucking expensive. I live alone. I feel like I'm barely afloat at times. The economy is so fucking shit that every raise I've gotten in the last 10 years is basically been negligible because of the rising costs of living and just in general. I'm barely any more ahead than when I started my 1st big boy job at 19.
I know there are still people who are doing well and who are moving up into our making lots of money, but my story is increasingly common, much more than it has been in decades.
