What's the average this year?

I've been offered 5.2% .... which just keeps pace with inflation and my extra pension costs - not happy!

ScoobyDoo555

meh, mine's much higher. And I get a free slave too

5.2%??? They must really want you to finally **** off Pete.

pslewis

I did think it a bit tight ... but, as Cameron says, we are in it together so I suppose I need to take this hit

Mine was approx. 119% rise this year with an additioanl agreed 3.2% rise for the next couple of years.










I'm an apprentice.

ScoobyDoo555

I got a 20-25% rise and less hours but a lot more stress

daddyscoob

well I feel lucky as this Dec is rise time and I've been told to expect 8 - 8.7%. Not sure what others in the department are up for but so far I'd say I'm pretty pleased

1% if we're lucky. Union is arguing about it but I doubt we'll get any more, if we even get that.

^^ Seems a tad pointless, may as well leave at zero?! Especially as VAT is going up & will blow that away ...

i got a 11% increase based on basic wage without commission but still want more as I get paid a rediculously low wage for the work I do in mine and my managers opinion.

Exactly. Might as well give us **** all.

To be fair, they were going to up our discount to 15% from 13% to try to help us out (a long time coming). The combination of the two wouldn't be too bad a deal if we could get all our weekly goods under one roof.

To think Pete thinks he has a bad deal at 5.2%....

That said, I will be grateful as the other half hasn't had a payrise in around 4/5 years and won't be getting one by the looks of it.

Mikej857

We still havent even discussed what our rise will be but knowing my company and the union they will argue till christmas and the week before christmas they will dangle the backpay carrot like they always do and people will accept whatever they offer just to get the money they will owe us which by the time they pay is normally about £1500 per employee.

I did get £2500 for moving garage though which is classed as a disturbance payment for moving to pay increased travelling costs even though its only another 4 miles for me, we will also be getting extra per duty but that purely because they have rescheduled the route and increased the hours on duty hence the increase in duty pay.

Didly squat this year, pay freeze in the public sector

Dingdongler

Doubt I'll get anything. I do probably earn at least twice as much as you so can't complain really

MMT WRX

Another thread turning into a revolting ***** waving fest.
I earn considerably more than you. FFS

nik52wrx

I've just had 5% back of the 10% cut i took in 2009....The way i look at it is 95% of my old salary is a damn site better than 0%.

Dingdongler

Chill mate, perhaps some people aren't being entirely serious?

MMT WRX

I agree, especially PSL, but some do start getting a bit serious with the tape measure.

Will probably be getting a big fat zero again for the third year running. I'm on less now that I was in 2007

what would scooby do

I think that's rather good for McDonalds You get some free burgers also don't forget

Coffin Dodger

Keep taking the pills granddad, god forbid you ever come out of the la-la land that you live in.

If you really are being offered 5.2% (unlikely) I'd grab it with both hands. Most private sector works will be lucky to get 2-3%, if you work in the public sector most are on pay freezes.

Devildog

Christ Pete, that's dire

pslewis

You're right .... a Consultant I know who started out in 1964 is still on £15 a week

Has the Nursie let you play on the computer again?

pslewis

That said, my ***** IS rather enormous .... like ears it keeps getting bigger as you get older, and I am considerably older than anyone else posting on here so it goes to show that I am well endowed as well as exceedingly wealthy
