I judge how much I should be earning on a) advertised jobs b) what colleauges earn who are crap and do 50% of the work I do earn c) the amount of profit I make the company which is 589% my current salary.

yeah that's how I do it, I earn them about 4-500% my salary. I'm sure average earnings for the company are usually about 3 or 4x your wage though. Maybe bri w or any employers on here could clear this up?

I'm not piS$ed off because i didn't get the pay rise .... i would of been quite happy carrying on the wage i was on until i finished my courses then i could start to look for a new job but its how he came back to me with we can give an extra 1000 pounds a year if you go on 24 hour call every other weekend.

im on next to minim wage and now i have to bring work home and into my weekends for an extra 20 quid a week.

If i wasn't on my A$$ i would of declined the offer and told them what i have just said above.

I don't get paid enough anywhere near enough to Bing my Work into my weekends . when i finish on a Friday i love the feeling of yes ...no work till monday.

on the other hand if i was on the correct wage i would be quite happy to do the on call weekend

If you're not happy its the only way to go, asked the first company I worked for for a small payrise, they said no I went to a job on well over double the pay. They were taking the ****, you have to do the best for yourself, they would. Obviously work ya hardest but you do have to do the best for yourself - bet they ask you to stay

For what its worth I dont think you are. Like I said earlier. I did on call for nearly 4 years without earning a penny for it... and taking a bit of responsibility on now, might make your boss more inclined to dish out that payrise your taking when your company is financially able to do so. Short term pain = long term gain maybe ?

If you need the money your just going to have to put up and shut up...

hindle8907 · 05-11-09, 07:22 PM

If they wanted to they would give me a payrise. i know the company is doing well. there busy as they. have ever been just landed big contacts with Marks n spencers and waitros and been employing loadz of new bakery engineers. 2 a week for the past few weeks and there still comming think and fast .

Anyways i was feeling down in work and thats why i posted just wanted to get it of my chest how i was feeling.

so thanks
