"entitled?" ....there it is. If you produce more and are not rewarded for doing so...move on to someone else who recognizes your contribution and is willing to compensate you for that. Otherwise adjust your spending habits to your means. Entitled....nope.
Yes, “entitled” as in I have that coming, as does anyone working for me. Why would I cut their pay for the same work? I have the same attitude on this issue whether I’m the one signing the checks or the one cashing them. Exceptions would be if you’re in an industry where you’re unable to increase your prices even in an overall inflationary environment (and I would agree to this as both employee and employer) or government employees who aren’t creating anything. They’re lucky if we don’t cut their pay in actual numerical terms.
