If it did, your salary must have shrunk by 87.5% (or the company that you work for would have gone out of business).

Because in reality all salaries went up exactly the right amount to compensate for inflation? Hm, the system doesn't seem to work like that.

If you think that a business can remain in business after its revenue shrinks by a factor of 8 without wage costs adjusting accordingly, you need a reality check.
