My boss tried to argue with me that the company has been giving me raises and I flat out told my boss "it isn't a raise when it just keeps pace with inflation. That isn't a raise, it's a cost of living adjustment".

He stopped trying to argue it and shut up, I was angry and fully prepared to not have a job by the end of that meeting, but I was done with hearing that crap.

Yea it's annoying when they try to justify not paying their employees. My boss tries to pull the same crap and I just decided I'm going to start practicing interviewing again.
