Poll: Pay rise 2022

What do you expect as a pay rise this year?

  • Total voters
    577
We received and accepted a flat amount last year and have been offered the same flat amount this year which has been rejected.
 
From annual reviews, 0%, same as last year, and any year where inflation is >1%. With all the redundancies in the tech industry, that stance probably isn't going to shift this year either.

Thankfully, workload aside, from taking on a mini promotion a month ago, 12%
 
Got 8.4% last year (Feb RPI+0.2%) but that was final year of 4 year pay deal linked to inflation.

Company met unions last week and offered 3.3% for this year. All to do with 'following public sector pay policy ' due to government bailout terms. There's another meeting tomorrow.... Let's see if they increase it.
 
2% lol. Public sector woo! If I go for a higher band job this year then I'll see a decent improvement abpve inflation, but obviously that's moving the goalposts a bit. Am questioning whether I should plan on moving back to the private sector doing something else in the medium term as pay 'rises' like this are just not sustainable or motivating, especially as once I get a job in the next band up it gets quite difficult to advance any further.
 
I got 0%. WFH though so I'll just be working less thank you very much. Company thinks I'll be motivated by this?

It's either 2% or 1% here; basically naff all.

I always laugh when people say how good a deal public sector staff have, with our amazing salaries and wonderful pensions. Maybe that *used* to be true, but it was long before my time.

These days you get your bowl of gruel and you like it, dammit. (Unless you're a contractor on eleventy £billion per day...)

Well I can tell you for a fact, I'm not going to get rich working in the public sector ;)

Here, the only way to get near that amount is by moving into management. Which I really don't think is for me.
 
Havent worked out the percentage but my salary has gone up by £11k since the start of the year and has come at the same time as the energy bills have begun to drop, so all in all I cant really complain much about the costs of living at the moment.
 
Bah cant willy wave in this thread as i am not much above the living wage and only part time got maybe 4 percent didn't take much notice, as long as i can get to the beach and the coast paths that's ok ,mortgage free helps
 
Self employed contractor so I determine my own day rate. Generally kept my rates static for most of my clients (less demand) but a couple I have put up about 8%.

What does a UK public sector pension look like these days? I'm always interested to see how much they're worth, as I continue to hear that even the most valuable are replicable via increased private sector wages (and subsequent private pension contributions) if you invest enough during your lifetime.
