Very grateful that I'm still employed and working, but my company already sent out emails basically saying, "we must protect the business", "continue to ensure our customers are #1", and "pay raise increases are suspended indefinitely until further notice." Completely understandable and at this time, most people in my company just want to keep their jobs, not really worried about the raise increase they would have gotten this year, albeit, likely another very tiny increase that keeps up with living costs.<p>Not much anyone can do but complain about it as there's no certainty about anything right now. So at the moment: you have the lower and working class trying to figure out how they are going to survive, while you have the upper and rich classes trying to figure out how they're going to get richer from this crisis.<p>So at the moment... any job hiring, any salary negotations are likely on hold for everyone until we have a more stable global economy and world.
