Are these some people you are referring to,are they possibly part time union members making minimum wage perhaps?
COLA is a 33 cent adjustment to top scale

Which is why people are quitting jobs at record rates and taking their skills and knowledge elsewhere...it's all in the ADP jobs report.
We can piss and moan about the job all we want and many things really do suck.
But compared to some other people we aren't doing too bad.
Yes there is a big opening for new hires because many employers are hurting but..
This economy is going in the tank and when it does happen you do not want to be the new guy that's got hired

Minimum wage is going up to 16.04 July 1 in Hell A.I doubt we will get any COLA unless, I purchase a drink from the vending machine.
My wife doesn't make a lot of money at her part-time job but it is gave her approximately a 17% raise.
Nobody wants to work and companies cannot keep people

Depends. New guy that gets hired is cheaper than old guy making an inflated salary (think 22.4's vs 22.3's here but without union protections). Some trim last hired, but most trim most expensive guy that can be replaced by younger, cheaper worker (that a lot of the time are more tech savvy). Or they outsource the expensive departments completely.
Quit smoking weed....
22.4 jobs and 22.3 jobs are completely different classifications from a regular package car driver
And on another note a lot of these young guys, I want saying all of them do not want this job.
Especially working for a company it does not give a flexible schedule and is miserable to work for

You completely missed my point so let me try it a different way
...if the company could cut (where I said minus union protections) the more expensive labor force and replace it with less expensive people that do the same job.... they will find a way.
They're already outsourcing everything I can't right now.
And next year might get ugly

I completely agree. I don't think most people expected 70's era inflation again. Glad I stocked up on stuff before prices started skyrocketing.
Hoarding is also adding to inflation.
Just do your best to stay out of debt live within your means and hold on tight

There's a fine line between hoarding and preparing. All things in balance, nothing in excess.
Just keep your bills paid off keep a little extra money in the bank and make sure you have food on hand feed your family

Not in a union shop.
That was not a shot at union's either to be clear, just a statement of my understanding.
