We’ve all had a ‘year of pain’ for every year since 2008, lets be honest.
Feels like we should have a national poster campaign on every bus stop and train station where the slogan should be “your manager is a hired stooge and the government doesn’t care. Enjoy sweating your bollocks off for the next 8-12 hours for a rapidly diminishing real-value paycheck”.
Lazy plebs should stop complaining, accept the pay cut, cancel Netflix, stop eating avocados, learn to cook, eat venison, and pull themselves up by the boostraps.
Yet you will still get those “you should be thankful you’ve got a job, if you don’t like it leave” cunts whenever industrial action starts.
I’m honestly confused: my boss gave me a 9% pay rise this year because he’s worried I’ll leave. With 1.3m job vacancies why aren’t everyone’s bosses in the same place? Sorry for the blunt question, just wondering what is happening outside my bubble…
I don’t think it’ll be *year* pf pain, it’ll be years
3% pay rise from my organisation, meaning I’m getting at least a 4-5% pay cut this year. In addition to below inflation pay rises for over a decade.
It’s insulting. My plan is to start reducing my efficiency by the pay shortfall. I can do overtime to correct it.
