Beat this pay rise!

-TA- · 30 Oct 2011 at 01:33

Had one rise in 5 years, a huge rise of around £160,,,,,,a year.

Serious skin flint boss who doesn't value his staff at all. Which has a terrible effect on staff morale. Needless to say I am job hunting.

Woo, I got a pay rise this year!

£73 a year.

Yes, per year.

Has anyone had a smaller non-zero pay rise?

Was gonna say I had you beat as my last "proper" one was 0.03% but it actually works out a few quid more.

Is it a part time job

No.

or some sort of public sector employer

No.

where you get paid according to whatever generic class/pay band they slot your job into rather than based on individual performance/perceived value you add?

That's what happens with most private sector jobs too.

I just thought it was amusing that they'd bother with such a trivial increase.

Angillion what do you do?

Hotwired · 30 Oct 2011 at 02:48

Hm.

Got something in line with inflation here so can't complain.

I haven't had a pay rise for three years, and later this year, or early next, I lose my job. Do I win?

We are still doing pay negotiations which started last April. We just rejected an offer of 2.2% which was double of the first offer. If we decline the next one they offer I think it goes to a external source.

Least you get a payrise OP!

kokuten · 30 Oct 2011 at 07:27

just recieved a £2,200 per year rise!

SixTwoSix · 30 Oct 2011 at 07:32

1.5% pay rise per year over the last two years, no pay rise the year before and 3% the year before that.

freak2002 · 30 Oct 2011 at 07:38

In April I was top of the pay scale so no rise at all for me.

Then redundancys were made and I was promoted to the leavers job. so got a 2k increase. As an added bonus I am at the bottom of another scale so I will move up in April. we get a rubbish cost of living increase though. so if you work it out over 5 years (pre promotion) I was actually 10% worse off which is stupid.

lofz · 30 Oct 2011 at 07:39

I got an extra £22 a year the other week...

rogue66700 · 30 Oct 2011 at 07:44

I've just been told europe have been sticking their noses in again and I can only work 60 hours a week. That means I loose time and a half and double time pay so I've took a pay cut :-(

Furyus · 30 Oct 2011 at 07:46

it's better then a kick in the ********! after all, theres a lot of people out there unemployed.
something is better then nothing. but as the one guy said, i hope your boss ainr rubbing it in your face, because lets be honest £73 a year isnt much! and it seems like abit of a joke..

cjbagnall · 30 Oct 2011 at 08:03

I got £195 a year pay rise this year, first pay rise in 3 years.

Bald-Eagle22 · 30 Oct 2011 at 08:14

I have worked for the same company since 2004 and had one pay rise since then and that was for a promotion .

Since then I have efectivley had a pay cut year on year.
