Pay Rise 2009

[tubbyj]

Ive heard a rumour that we are not getting a pay rise this year due to increased recruitment caused by recession, falling inflation, and the fact that this country is SKINT.

Nice rumour. Let's see how many bite.

 

[MrMasher]

I heard we are taking a pay cut and a manning cut to bolster spending on recruitment and providing NCOs for AFCOs.DT_Xtremez_30:

I'm sure the CAS will make sure he get's his 10% even if no-one else gets a payrise.

 

[Mickwreay]

I heard techies are moving to the low pay band! To help pay for the other newly promoted trades.

 

[vim_fuego]

I think we should all volunteer for a pay cut to help out our embattled government...afterall it's all hands to the pumps at times like these right?

 

[Bucc Boy]

I heard there was to be no pay rise at all........just golden handshake retainers for all the PVR'ees!!

I heard that we are now allowing Italians and Portugese in as there's no jobs left in the oil industry in Lincolnshire so we have to give them the pay rise insteadDT_Xtremez_17:

Ok i was taking the michael, but thanks for the replies. it shows that we still have a sense of humourDT_Xtremez_28:

PS Does anyone else think that there is normally an annnouncement before this time of year about our pay rise? We get it in less than two months and nobody has heard anything official, very interesting.

They're probably waiting for the announcement that inflation has dropped to 0.5% so they can give us an inflation busting 0.75% pay rise. A similar thing happened last year if you remember, public sector pay rises were all linked to (the current) inflation figures a month before it was announced that inflation had gone up by 1.5%. The cynics amongst us would surmise that the new inflation figures were delayed until after the public sector pay awards had been made thereby saving the Government a packet.

Just heard that we're getting an average of 6% on a sliding scale - the juniors will receive 30% and the Air Ranks will get 0.2%. Honest.

Really?DT_Xtremez_31:

 

[billy bollox]

I'd also heard that the MOD is effectively bankrupt?? So as we are not part of a "vote winning" process, I suspect extremely low increase.

i havent had a pay rise for three years and i will not get one this year.
so all i can say is tough siht. welcome to the real world.

 

[The Masked Geek]

You must be a right failure then.

 

[Doneit]

Due to the recession and having to bail out greedy bank(er)s, I'd bet on a 1.25% pay rise in 2 instalments. 0.25% wef 1st April and the other 1% wef 1st October....

I hope I'm wrong! DT_Xtremez_42:

You are self employed but you have not had a pay rise for 3 years.

Not doing so well them are you. No pay rise to match inflation = a pay cut.

By the way, living in a bedsit in a hovel with a shared bath does not count as a place in Croatia with a pool.

And try to remember the space bar for your next post, there's a good chap

 

[FOMz]

7% over the next three years.....


You heard it first, here folks!
