just been reliably informed by the management that i am getting a payrise.
however, before i start looking for a new bike, the rise is on a par with the cost of a mars bar.
Superb, my employer thinks nothing of doubling my workload and giving me a paltry 2.5% rise.
last laugh is on me though, as i am actively looking to leave within the next 3 months (yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah)

At elast you've got a job, we're going through (another) round of redundanciesIt's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result0 -

lucky... we only got 2%.
Although, I got a proper pay rise at the same time0 -
my bonus hits my account on Friday happiest time of the year for me!0
-
Yeah, I got one too and 300 quid bonus.
Pity my exhaust/manifold replacement cost £380...0 -
Didn't get our annual increment this year still waiting to see if we get a pay rise though (I doubt it!)0

I get a payrise with my change of job hopefull this year and 0%% cost of living. and been told our up until now yearly 20% bouns is not going to be paid so i have in fact suffered a heavy pay cut0

We get two payrises each year...one is an incremental rise (you get this each year until you reach the top of the grade), and the other is a cost of living rise.
So last month I got my incremental payrise, which now means I'm now at the top of my paygrade...so I'm pleased to have got a rise, but not so pleased that I'm at the top and won't have a guaranteed rise each year...unless of course I get a job on a higher scale!
Doubt I'll get a 'cost of living' payrise this year though...last year it was just 1% but its not looking like we'll even get that this year0 -
cost of living is 4.4% this year."It is not impossible, its just improbable"

no chance of getting anywhere near that this year...."budget cuts" :roll:0

This.0 -
We've had a pay freeze for the last two years, and a 2% pay rise the year before that. -_-0

i got a 20% payrise last week0

i got a 2% payrise in april, it only works out as about an extra 40 quid in my account once it has been taxed and insured.
i get a little bit more in june too which is nice.0 -

must be something in the air....that was how much my bonus was this year0 -
I've been informed this morning that when my boss leaves, his post will be made redundant. They're putting me and my coworker under a new boss, who has got us a budget, making us managers of minions ( ) getting us a room with windows, and, the best bit, is going to go through our Job Descriptions, get a Job Evaluation, and hopefully *touches wood* we'll be going up a couple of pay grades.
Woooooooooooooooooo!It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

That's how much I paid myself as a bonus too. Although I suspect 20% of your salary is significantly more than 20% of mine
Of course, I get taxed significantly less in the first place.0 -

'tis a bummer
on the upside, I can sleep easy knowing that half of the time I spend working is helping some scally family pay for their tracksuits and fags.
I used to winge about it, but given my bonus is probably more than they could earn in a year even if they were employed, I can't help but think I'm overpaid in the grand scheme of things. I'm 29 and want for nothing (other than a shot at Cheryl Cole's ass I suppose), and there are far too many people who graft their entire lives and never get to do the things they really want.
We are the lucky ones. If you have a job and you can buy a bike, life is sweet. I don't ask for much more (other than maybe some goddam time to ride the thing!)0 -

Lol 20% payrise for me was not a lot at all if i'm honest... and by not a lot i mean really really not a lot. Seeing as my job is temporary and i'm just a student, thankfully its exam time in the schools, which means invigilation time for me... sitting down doing nothing for £7.50 an hour, now that i can do.0 -

i can't believe i actually typed that, the brainwashing my firm does obviously works. I worked just over 100 hours in 5 days last week trying to close a £2.7 billion deal which had to be closed before the election or it would have burned because the tories didn't like it.
didn't leave a board room for a week other than to poop, shave and grab 2 hours kip every couple of days.
am i bollocks overpaid!!!!0 -

See, now I'm jealous of people with loads of money, but then I think, bollocks to 20 hour days! I work hard when I'm at work, but I don't want to spend that much time there
Still, money......0
