And it’s not even immediate, closer to $4 now, another $2 in 2026.

Wonder how much $24/hr in 2024 is versus their inflation-adjusted wage in, say, 2018. I bet they’d seen such a large reduction in real wages that this isn’t much more than getting them back to where they used to be—if it’s even that.

I felt the same "oof." It's always great to see workers claw back even a small amount of value from ownership, but all that fighting just to get $6 over three years (and 50 cents more for people with 10 years of service)? Oof is right. It makes me reflect on and acknowledge my privilege of working in tech.

Which is why the lowest earners having the highest percent increase in wages in recent years does not mean much.
