So recently I’ve been asking my manager for a pay rise..
I work in customer service and have a qualification in my field and have been told continuously we’re looking at it and we will see what we can do which I understand somewhat as I work in a corporate company and my manager can only do what he can do and I trust he’ll bat for more pay as he’s a good guy.
Anyway.. I let it be as I enjoy my job and Ill help train some new starters..
Having a chat with them I find out they’ve started on a wage £3,500 more than me baring in mind they’re 7 years younger, 0 experience in my field and have to be trained up.
Done some more digging and find out his interview was done by the heads of the company as his family are very high up and he’s surpassed all wage structure due to this.
Absolutely everyone in the team are disgusted by this and even people in a higher role have found out and morale at is at all time low.
Just a vent really.. I guess the heads of can do what they want for who they want too but for the general day to day workers get shafted everyday.
Safe to say it’s a nice vent to get out to you guys and also I’ve landed 3 interviews next week all on £3000/4000 pay rises and I’m off.
