Not just you stackers getting ****ed about. Us medics are in the same boat but being made to jump through hoops with ridiculous courses being foist upon us in the hope it will make the pay bods think more kindly about putting us up a pay band. I know it's not going to happen and the junior staff know it's pie in the sky but our lords and masters seem to avoid reality these days.
 
I hear what your saying Snowball but many of us are working in non-Supply Sqn posts and as such are sat in dark with whats going on!
When the communication subject was raised we were promised that AirSpace Log Web would be the place to find out what was going on but that is just a collection of spelling and grammar mistakes - with no current news/information and as such rapidly losing any credibility!
I'm in a similar position to the 'IPT Scales God' - working in an engineering managed environment with no Sqn WO or Sqn information flow- we rely on e-goat to tell us what's going on- pathetic just about covers it I guess!

Mushrooms spings to mind mate.:PDT_Xtremez_42:.....I feel so out the loop....Airspace, should be Waste of space.........I cant get over the hype behind it, what ANOTHER let down, the powers at be had the chance to get the info out to everyone that wanted it..........It makes me mad!!!! :PDT_Xtremez_09:

I sent feedback to LogWeb pointing out the spelling and grammar errors. I was bored at work that day.

I received a nice email from the site manager thanking me for my input and asking if I would like to volunteer to maintain the site???

I thought that was his job? I assume it will be included in his AR? :PDT_Xtremez_34:

Anyway, I politely refused as I will be too busy trying to consume kokkinelli stocks in the Mediterranean!
 
Here's a thought - I would have thought it unlikely that the decision to move any of the ranks up the payscale would be purely financial? When you think about it if Supply have scored high enough then how can they justify paying the other trades and not Supply just because the pot is empty? Surely you cant as an employer state, in black and white, that the money is and will continue to be made available for exising trades permanently but there will be no further upbanding on the grounds of finance alone?

I understand the current fiscal climate is looking grim, but I seriously doubt we will be seeing anything officially stating "sorry, you've made the grade but we're skint" - more likely it will be a patronising explanation of how close it was but better luck next time..

It's called a finite budget. The lack of money will, IMHO be the biggest hurdle for supply to overcome.
 
Does anyone know if there is a set date for the news? Is it friday 30th oct? Also if we don't get any reply by the end of this week will that then stop our trade getting the rise in april?

It is believed, although how much truth is there I don’t know, that the decision has to be made this month in order to be accepted for April, when they choose to release said information… well that’s anyone’s guess!

I think there are a few ways of looking at this:

1. I don’t think there is any way in this world that had a decision been reached and it had been a no, then they would have dragged this on for so long!
2. The decision has been made and they are looking for ways to finance it, we all know the financial position the MoD find themselves in at the moment.
3. The decision has not yet been agreed and we will find out as and when.
4. We could go on… (and indeed have done!)

There could be any number of reasons as to why the result has not been made public, I for one am not counting any chickens, if we do get the result we want, excellent… if not then hey, so what… it was not meant to be!

Anyway, just a thought…

Don't you mean "I am not counting any blankets"..........................
 
I reckon today is the big day, so we can all go down the Pig's Bar drink flat pints of Tartan beer, go to the bop and have a fight with the Rock's :PDT_Xtremez_09:
 
I don't know if this has already been mentioned, haven't read the entire thread but I thought you might find it useful to know that the Pers Admin upbanding was sent around via an e-mail originating at ACOS Manning before the official announcement by the trade sponsor was made. This e-mail was dated 20 Oct 08 and ended up in my inbox on the 24th, so hopefully you will hear any day now! I have my fingers crossed for you. :PDT_Xtremez_19:

I would hope so if it was sent a year ago! Did you not mean 09?

No,

I was just letting you know that the Pers Admin upbanding was found out on the 24 Oct 08, to be effective 01 Apr 09. Therefore, I would have thought that your result for Apr 10 would be announced at roughly the same time, (late Oct 09).
 
Come on XXXXXXX!!!!!

Come on XXXXXXX!!!!!

Chatted to XXXXXX yesterday and still under review.....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:PDT_Xtremez_35:

God they were the days. It should be today we find out, however how many times have we been let down before. Nobody has the b0ll0cks to stand up and be counted (no pun intended) and force the issue. Come on guys sort it out.
 
Its dragging on nicely is this now, next we here it will be any decision is too late for the April 10 pay so it will be delayed till Oct 10 for the April 11 pay.

And still no word from the TS
 
What a bunch of Cr@p, it seems like we have got the points to be upbanded, otherwise it would of been a straight NO last year, would it be so hard for something official to come from the TS, even to just tell us its still going through, rather than just rumours?
