all bosses are cheapskates.
we want as much performance out of the least amount of money spent on payroll as possible. conversely, employees want as much money out of the least amount of performance as possible.
What astounds me is how you've tied your salary to minimum wage. Your salary has nothing to do with how close to or how far away it is from minimum wage. Keeping up with inflation also is a misnomer, since if you really were trying to do that you'd have complained about not getting a raise each and every year.
This is plain and simple, you want to get more money. Period.
Mark you expenses and how much work time you have. That's how much you need to be earning at the minimum. If he can't provide it, it is up to you to find an employer who can. If you aren't able to, then you need to find out what skills you need to get higher up on the food chain.
