Why is it that these fucks get to increase their price and just to offer shittier service but if I want a raise at my job I’ve got to go above and beyond?

Raises where you work are still based on merit? Damn!

Technically, no. The last few have been significantly below either measure of inflation. So in real terms, I've had a wage cut!

[–] darthsid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Likewise. My promotion was less than the annual inflation.

They aren't, it's just an excuse.

I'm not even sure how many streaming services make a profit at this point. They all seem to lower the quality everywhere at the same time.

Your employer probably made you sign a contract, Amazon just changes their eula/terms&conditions. Amazon aren’t legally bound to keep their prices the same.
