Ye gods, why are you still working for the same amount you made in 2014? You can buy a heck of a lot less for that same money in any category. You have effectively been given a large wage cut in the past seven years, if you value your wages in what they can purchase. I believe one of the other posters said inflation in the US since then was around 14%.
And part of "just business" is employees fighting for raises, as well. If you haven't been doing that are are still making what you did seven years ago, I can understand that's not how you want it to be. But that doesn't control the drum for everyone else. You need to go stand up for yourself. Or find a new job.
