    It’s bizarre seeing that disconnect in real life.

    At my last job, the wages were stagnant for years. The company held meetings to boast that they were making record profits, the highest increase yet. The following month, they refused to raise wages because it would be too expensive.

    Somehow, they were shocked when practically everyone who was skilled left. They couldn’t get new people in the door, either.

    They ended up having to raise everyone’s wages. (YAY union!)
