An executive worries about brown-bagging it and one worker asks about a below-inflation raise rate.
Why is there an unwritten rule that employees are perceived as being cheap if they bring their own lunch to work? Any food brought to work was paid for, so why is this a no-no?
Or, it could be cost-related — but not wanting to pay $20 a day for a sandwich, chips and soda doesn’t make you frugal, it makes you smart. I just received my annual raise, and it was 4% , which is below the inflation rate. My boss said that I should be happy because most people are getting less, and I’m working remotely so my costs are lower. How can I be happy with a raise that’s less than inflation? And what does working remotely have to do with being paid what I’m worth?You are employed. You are allowed to work remotely. You received what sounds like a good review from your boss.
