If salary changes, the change should apply for everyone who lives on salary. Something unique about our country is that people's salary does not go side by side with the country's living expenses. Market is unregulated and the lust for wealth has skyrocketed the living expenses making it difficulty for any salaried person to meet the living demands. On the other hand, the productivity of those who are being paid salary is either zero or bare minimum. The whole culture of work ethics, unregulated market and the balance of incentives vs ROI needs to change if change is to be expected.
