This trend of news outlets reporting multi year raises as just “x%” is infuriating and very good manipulation on the part of the CEOs. They know most people won’t read on to see the difference.
It’s not a trend. It’s a calculated tactic to split the ignorant people who dont pay attention from the working class who do. They hear “21% raise?! I’d give my left nut for that! Fuck these greedy fucks!” and not realize it’s over the life of the contract.
