Pay doesn’t catch up rising living cost but got more work to do. How should I deal with this situation. /u/naticom CSCQ protests reddit

Been with the company for almost 6 years. The first couple years were good, got promoted twice and then salary went stagnant. My pay is now only 20% more than 6 years ago, but major living expenditure such as rent and food have gone up more than 50% (rent went from 2k to 3k, and I don’t have to mention foods).

I’ve been looking for new opportunities since 2 years ago but cannot find suitable ones.

So I looked back and saw that I got so much more work to do but the pay is actually reduced due to the living cost. I believe many of you have faced the same situation. How do you deal with it? Did you intentionally do things slower or do less things? How do you communicate with your manager about it?
