Well, yeah. If you don’t get any raise while cost of living keeps inflating, then they’re actually paying you less than they did the previous year. Number can go up while quality of life goes down.
The attitude of: burn yourself out at work hoping for rewards that they stopped giving out decades ago, is the terrible mindset. You had to actively step in to fix an abysmal hiring salary for someone on your team, which your employer wasn’t going to do without being forced. I bet your employer counts that as a raise, so their next one will be a pittance.
