Rock climbing careers & CEO's thoughts on Inflation

The always positive internal news was selling young professionals on rock wall career moves. When they talked about it articles it was actually described as a lateral move. No promotion, no pay raise.

Anyone remember when employees complained about inflation to the CEO during a livestream? CEO's reply to double digit inflation was "get promotions." People are struggling with groceries, housing, medical, etc and CEO be like: just go get that promotion!


If the US gets hit too, I honestly don’t know what to do

Who’s supposed to pay my bills? Has anyone noticed the cost of living skyrocketing? Housing, mortgages, it’s all out of reach. Everywhere I look, there are layoffs. I’ve been trying for almost a year to land something else, just to get ahead. I got a couple of offers, but none worth even considering. I even looked way outside my skillset and in cheaper locations. Nothing. Feels like most of us are running out of options.


Inflation, Stagnant Wages, and Rising Insurance Costs

Over the past two years, soaring inflation has eroded household budgets while Bank of America held salary increases well below cost of living gains, leaving real wages stagnant as unemployment ticks up to its highest level in over two years; at the same time, health insurance costs are climbing, premiums are set to rise around 6 percent next year and average deductibles are increasing further squeezing workers’ finances.

What comprehensive measures can individuals take? Do you suggest any tactics to deal with this?


How to cope with less in these times

I make what I thought was an ok salary for a 602 in HCL area, until inflation hit my pocket book really hard this year. I’m below the low end of the range advertised on similar jobs in the job portal. Commute ki-ls, but I love my work. I’m finding it really hard to afford much now. How is everyone coping. I know it’s not a JPM-specific question, but I’m wondering if they will ever adjust salaries to align with at least the lowest band. I feel ashamed to say sometimes I eat just once a day.
