Inflated Salaries Put Targets on Workers' Backs as Market Cools (msn.com) 99
Workers who secured substantial salary increases during the pandemic hiring frenzy are now confronting a stark reality: they're likely overpaid in today's cooling job market. According to new Korn Ferry data, two-thirds of U.S. workers believe they're compensated at or above their market value.
The tech sector has experienced significant wage deflation, with expanding pay transparency laws making market corrections impossible to ignore. Only 60% of recent job switchers received raises in Q1 2025, down from 73% just one quarter earlier.

Companies posting record profits need still more in the corporate coffers, which will eventually translate into more C-Suite bonuses?
It's gonna be a hard sell to convince most of us that right now we need to accept wages and raises being suppressed, at precisely the same time prices on nearly everything around us are beginning to climb, and economic pointers make it seem those prices are going to continue to climb quite a bit over the course of the next three plus years, if not longer. At what point do the owner class become satisfied they own enough? Obviously, it hasn't happened yet.
