It looks like inflation was 6.2% between Feb 21-Feb 22, and then 10.4% Feb 22-Feb 23. Rounding up, does this mean if you haven't had a 17% pay rise compared to what you were paid in Feb 21, then you're effectively facing a pay cut? You'll have less purchasing power in real terms?
So, a 17% pay rise should be seen as doing the bare minimum?

YABU - inflation doesn't work like that/ you have misunderstood the stats/ businesses have to survive and you can't expect inflation beating pay rises for just doing your job/ have you heard of the wage-inflation spiral/ employees of private companies maybe should be paid more, but definitely not civil sevants and public sector workers because capitalism and taxes
YANBU - people should be paid at least 17% more, compared to Feb 21, to keep up with price rises
