CR 1/8
Perhaps "usually"... but not always. Which exactly is why such questions need to be asked regularly, and why demands to fix things need to be made whenever those answers aren't good.Because honestly if you're not receiving regular compensation increases it usually means you company doesn't value you enough to do so.
It's okay for workers to value themselves, too. They are allowed some dignity and fairness. It's not only about what just the employer wants. It's a two-way street, after all.
There's nothing wrong with workers standing up for themselves, ideally with the support of others.
That can be hard to do, of course; but it's not a hard concept to understand.
