I bought up COLA with a director and was told 'we were all the in the same boat'

I hate that attitude from higher ups. An employee looking at inflation and wondering if they'll need to heat their home less or much less food is not in the same boat as a higher up manager who might have to buy a new Mercedes every other year instead of every year. It might be the same problem for everyone, but it absolutely doesn't have the same impact.
