The only logical rule is - if you can show QUANTITATIVELY that you have
increased your productivity/output then you deserve a pay increase.
Inflation has nothing to do with it - you are a resource in the overall
operation of the business and your price (your pay) should only be based on
what you can produce. Our education system is probably to blame for the
common misconception that labour is any different to any other resource in
economic terms.
