banarama Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 anybody agree with me, keep working year after year everything going up i.e petrol etc. but wages seem to stay the same.
m1c Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 we usually get a rise that matches inflation but this year noone on site is even getting that be grateful you got a job is what we're unofficially told (bearing in mind theres 300 out of 500 being made redundant over the next 12 months)
banarama Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Posted February 25, 2010 yes its terrrable at the moment /will it get any better.
Trevmk3 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 it is getting crap at the moment, inflation rose by however much last year and our wages went up half of it, this year will be the same, however im glad ive still got work as there are lots who havnt, like my brother. i cant understand why petrol has been at £1.10 for so long and no fuss has been made, when it got to 90p years ago there was uproar
SAMMYBOY Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 No matter what i earn, i always seem to end up with about the same left in Bank before payday each month .....Car Trades a riot at the moment, so i`m staying put just now.... Scotland is allegedly going through a double dip recession???? God knows..
Copey Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 yeah, the same here, no matter what i earn it gets spent! i cant understand why petrol has been at £1.10 for so long and no fuss has been made, when it got to 90p years ago there was uproar there is a 2% extra charge on it too, when VAT dropped to 15% our lovely gov stuck a 2% charge on fuel, and now VAT has gone back up the sneaky fookers havent taken the 2% back off!
SAMMYBOY Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 yeah, the same here, no matter what i earn it gets spent! I got an extra £166 quid as part of my monthly bonus.....Thought i`d buy a Blue ray player.....Checked my online account, got nearly the same (£20 quid more) in the bank, as same date last month.....Go figure....... Blueray out the window now....
D4N Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 This week we had no food in the fridge Payday to day but not touching it still got bills to pay from last month but atleast i got work and a roof over my head
GJUK Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 I'm finding the same. My salary increases have been 3% and 2.5% the last two years. Much better than 0% which most had. It's still not enough though, so Im having to find other ways of making money such as jumping out of the company car scheme and getting an old volvo to knock about in for a while!
bigglesmk2 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 I'd have been better off leaving school and scratching my arse at home with no intenetion of doing anything with my life ...at least i would have got looked after ....but no i choose to get shafted by the state,Yay for all those that work hard only to have most of it taken away and given to some lazy twat to buy fags so i can go without food.
over_head_cam Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 Am I the only one who's not doing too bad at the moment? It must be my devilish good looks that are getting me the work in Chin up Guys, When the better weather comes we will all feel a lot happier about things
Trevmk3 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 im always happy Phil, especially when i have finished work for the day and can go home have some good scran and a beer

Trevmk3 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 i was expecting a "what the fook is scran?" from you like i got from Jo at Cf show when i said it

I haven't had one for two years although I'm not complaining too much as I am grateful for my job. Luckily I have got work coming out of my arsehole but the company I work for is looking to make 3 or 4 people redundant according to the letter we got in our pay slips today I don't think I will be one of them, fingers crossed !!

Slammed Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 this si so bad as i will b eentering the job market in the next couple of years after studying, hope it blows over and everything will go back to normal
sab6024 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 I was made Supervisor at work which meant a payrise, just in time for Social Services to change the way they dish out patients to Care Agencies. All the Agencies in Cornwall had to bring their prices down in line with Social Services prices, which a lot refused, but we didn't. We're 3rd on the list now so when the first 2 Agencies fill up then we can look forward to taking on some new patients....it's been a long time coming. I'm having to work 7 days a week every week just to keep my hours up and I can't manage 90 hours most months at the moment. So now I've become an Avon lady just to top up my wages

walsh253 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 Got my pay cut by £150 this week and im having to do an extra 3 hours a day!! Im sure theres something wrong here
over_head_cam Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 Got my pay cut by £150 this week and im having to do an extra 3 hours a day!! Im sure theres something wrong here Deffo sounds like there is something wrong there If I lost £150 a week something would have to go. Perhaps your company think you don't need to eat or something? What do you do for a job?
