Inflation has been reaming the lower rung workers. They decided to roll the bonus into salary and eliminate the bonus to "fight" inflation which isn't a bad idea but it does mean next year there won't be a new bonus thus the benefits have become a bit worse. I've found it hard to get promotions despite doing a great job in the lower ranks. LMI is trying to expand to triple its size by 2025, and I think they're cutting some corners to do so.
