Mate you’re living the dream. Inflexibility works in favour of the employee.
Imagine everything you do, and going above and beyond, and working extra hours, as a way of your boss manipulating your team so when performance reviews time comes in they can say the usual scripts:
you’re not getting a raise that covers inflation and I’m sorry but it’s out of my control
our company didn’t make as much money as we expected ( and they never do because of infinite growth mindset on a finite planet)
the other companies are doing much worse than us
your co worker did this and that and it was so helpful, you should aim for doing double of what they did ( guilt trip that they will also do on your co worker that got the same raise as you, and heard what YOU did that now they have to top)
