I got notified last week of my pay rise. 3% raise which is around £13xx a year increase. For the bonus, I received 80% of my maximum bonus, which is around £3500. I'm a little disappointed at the pay increase.

In the end, it was a 4% pay rise and £6k bonus, against 7.5% and £1.5k last year.
It's better to get bigger pay rises than bonuses, of course, with them being 'sticky', but this year's bonus was particularly good, so can't complain.

7%, it's more than what I was on prior to reducing my hours by going down to 9 day fortnight so happy overall

Public sector (NHS Scotland) here. Our pay offers are fairly good-ish (I've only been back up here for 4 years) but negotiations take forever, pay rises aren't annual and are sometimes backdated to some extent.
When I was under NHS England, payrises were annual and were always finalised prior to the end of the financial year, which meant a payrise on the 1st April every year.
It's a total farce. I'm Scottish, and this is one of many reasons why I regret moving back to Scotland.

Didn't most NHS staff in England strike multiple times as the government refused to negotiate directly with staff while the Scot Gov were happy to do so and bashed out an agreement on pay without strikes?

During my last 4 years up north, yes they did. Prior to that, no. There were no strikes darn saaf. In my profession anyway.

I started a new job yesterday. That was around £2k increase, but will be on a new pay scale with increments- so long-term gain. I wasn't getting increases in the old job, and was bored as hell, too.
My plan is to (hopefully) get a year's experience and trade up

Got the 6.8% in the end for the 2023 year, but only after a personal intervention by Khan with some more money (£30m) for us, as we turned down 5% and were ready to strike the following day/week.
For 2024 been offered 3.5%, which has off course been turned down by the unions. Can see another long pay negotiation happening... Sigh.

Haven't had a payrise in 5 years. Now minimum wage is in, I am literally just above it. This is the average salary in Wales for the job I do. I looked the other day and being an MOT tester would pay more, as would a barrista for starbucks.

in the NHS our lowest paid are in this position and even band 3-4 are being drawn towards Aldi/Lidl.

Ended up rejecting this offer and accepting in the next vote, 17% this year from April, then RPI+2% Apr '25, and RPI+1% Apr '26. So not quite a much as I was hoping for but still a decent bit of catching up from the last few years.

Company wide 2% but because I had a pay rise in February due to passing my accounting qualification, I'm only getting 1%.. seems a bit daft to me.
Mate that is tight AF. Next time you see HR spit on them. Someone has gone out of their way to identify that and save the company a fiver.

I am in the process. I always wanted to be in IT but its just been a miserable slog the last few years.Go do one of those jobs then unless there are reasons stopping you?
I actually misread, they have only offered 3%. Their justification was as you say, May CPIH was 2.8%, so this is an above inflation offer. Can only laugh, as February RPI was always used previously as the base for pay rises, which was 4.5% this year. Either way, unions won't let them get away with it.But inflation is only 2% so....
