Yet they still manage to fuck us over by "jumping" an index. 2% may not seem much now but compounded we lose a lot over the years

In other countries EVERY index gets jumped unless they successfully negotiate/strike for the raise. Yeah, jumped index sucks but it was still a rather occasional thing. There's been only 4 I think, 3 times in the eighties, 1 time in 2015...

You (and every step angle other employee at your company) should be demanding AT LEAST an inflation adjustment every year from your boss.

Sure, but to only get told there is no budget now and it will be re-evaluated next year

Which is the point of having the rest of the employees behind you, no raise, no work.
