2yrs ago pay rises in excess of the rate of inflation were the norm. The only thing that has changed is the economic climate. But it will change back. Be patient Obi-One.

The extra grand is payment for being on call. If you're actually called, you should be getting overtime or TOIL to compensate. Clarify this with your employer before accepting. I'm on call 24/7/365 - part of the job, and not much goes badly wrong as we have redundant systems.

I've been due a payrise for the past two summers now...but hey ho pay freeze across the whole company. It does hit the junior staff moreso than the senior staff who have already been through the progression stages and on a decent wage already. My immediate bosses understand this, the fianance director understands this, the finance director won't do anything about it.
PS. IT Engineer...my colleagues would be livid with that job title lol ![]() |

I can't believe some of the replies! OK, so people are out of work, being made redundant...What's new? Why does mean that the rest of the working population should wave there claim to a pay raise? I've witnessed 16 rounds of redundancies with varoius compies, and been directly affected by 2. So what? His company is busy, actively recruiting in his field, and making a tidy profit I bet! Why shouldn't he expect/ask for a pay raise without having to take on more responsibilities? Especialy when his pay packet is below average to start with. OK so he's getting some time off for training...which the company doesn't pay for, (if i've read the post correctly), and will benefit from. It's not as if training = cigars and brandy all round at the local 5 star hotel...does it? I can't abide this "just be gratefull you're lucky enough to have a job" crap. Everyones working life has some luck in it, good and bad, but you won't last long anywhere on luck alone. He earns his living.
RE: the posties. If you had a job which had somehow managed to retain good terms and conditions of employment, would you just through them away? Remember the posties aren't doing this for a giggle. You don't get paid when you go strike, and it's nearly Christmas... |
