A bit cheesed off with that, to be honest!!

Inflation is running at 5% and my Pension is costing me another 1% this year - so, the net increase is a BIG FAT ZERO!!!

Teachers are getting 7.5% this September ... Bankers are still getting fat bonuses ... us 'normal, everyday, workers' are getting shafted!!

Anyway, what can you do?

For a start you can think yourself lucky that A) you have a job and B) you got a payrise so stop moaning.

So you don't work for AWE then.

I am sure we would all like a payrise but given the current climate we are lucky in many cases to have and to keep a job

pslewis

So the Teachers, getting a 7.5% increase this September should stop moaning then?

You misunderstand - what I am effectively receiving is ZERO ... NOUGHT ... NOTHING - I will have what I had last year ............ 6% is just the headline figure, 0% is more accurate!

Add that to the fact that the 40% Tax point has dropped to a poxy £35,001 and even MORE of my wage is taken at 40% Tax!!

It's not good at all ....

Fact is Petey, 99% of Teachers improve young lives, your company destroys them.

Welcome to the private sector, where none of get bonuses at the moment. Deal with it and stop moaning you old sod, like the rest of us

Try no cost of living increase for the 5th year running with no bonuses, only single time for any overtime i do no matter when it is and no pension atall.

I love working in the nuclear industry...

so in summary, shut up

I struggle to put anything Pete says in context, he was saying he was 80 odd several years ago, claims to be very wealthy and doesnt have many outgoings yet frets about a few quid here and there ? he drives mainly older/cheaper cars despite being wealthy and is still employed full time despite being well over retirement age !

Come on Pete, tell us the real score and we may take you seriously.

Do something different, change jobs.

I recently quit a well paid job with company car etc. and started my own Limited Company.

Very nearly doubled my take home pay.

I wish I had done it years ago

Nah, I know he isn't 90, he has been here a fair few years and wasnt a kid when he arived, I estimate mid/late fifties, he had a MK3 Cortina back in the day so isnt that young, just not as old as he says.
