In October I had my review. My boss congratulated me, full of praise and told me he had put me forward for a 10% pay rise with our American owners (we’re UK).
November: nothing.
December: maybe not.
January: ask at the end of the quarter
Today: email from America saying we need to cut costs as inflation has risen beyond expectations, don’t expect anything for 18 months.
They’re not even matching inflation!!
I’m on £23,000 PA. Inflation is 7%, plus a tax increase of 1.25% in April.
How is this fair?
What do I do?
No other jobs near me in my area for what I do (CAD operator, warehouse).
I’m pissed because my company has loads of jobsworths not worth their salt and I have a baby on the way and getting married this year.
Inflation rises year on year anyway, and if your cost increases, so does your sell price. So what’s the problem!?
Sorry for the rant!
