Hard of thinking?........uh hmmm.
So here's the tricky part - which of the following BEST describes an improvement in terms and/or conditions?
The correct answer, to anyone with other than a child's view of pay/T&Cs, is that you cannot know, without a frame of reference. The answer might be A. If inflation was running at -50% for condition A, and at 25% for condition B and C, then A is the correct answer.
How else can I put it so even the simple understand? Okay, when they paid you more cash, did your position go backward or forward or even just backward but not as much as before?
How can I answer so the simple understand? If you only look at how much more money you get
in your hand, without regard to how much everything costs- and therefor how much money
leaves your hand- then I can't help you. Especially when the people giving, are the people taking. You would be/are a dream employee.
