This kind of thing is a perfect example of why the kind of macroeconomic indicators our establishment adores pedalling to the discontented masses simply do not accurately reflect the lived experience of the average random citizen. Been saying this for *years*.
I worked for a tech company for a few years and while I disliked a lot of what I encountered the HR manager always, always did an annual salary review.
I moved to a new role around 2 years back, love what I do, but into year two and nobody has asked or even mentioned salary reviews.
Being an executive is very difficult, they deserve their pay, it’s not easy paying workers as little as possible, demanding they come back to the office all while finding time for a few rounds of golf and a handful of inspirational LinkedIn posts. Not to mention the fear that comes with knowing if you fuck up there’s always a handy consultancy job waiting for you. Try it sometime.
No way, not in Ireland I’m not having that😂
Haven’t had a salary increase in 3 years, still using the whole covid thing has excuses, but yet hiring new people left, centre and right!
Husband started new role in July 2021. Promised a review after 3 months. Each time he approached his boss, his boss was busy, a lot on his plate, get back to you next week. He gave him an ultimatum in October 2022 with a Christmas deadline. In January 2023 he started at a new company with a 35% pay rise.
The boss has hired twice to replace him and both have left.
If your employer doesn’t value you, go where you are valued.
Hmmm…….Why don’t we all just become executives?
Bit rich coming from Oxfam.
Used to work for them at the bottom rung of the ladder. Made near min wage. What does their chief exec make again?
Minimum wage should have went up to 11.80 in the last budget when measured for inflation but the government acted like they were being super generous with the 80c increase. In reality low wage workers all took a pay cut.
So rent and bills go up, wages don’t.
Seems fine. Sure, it’ll be grand.
It’s obviously asylum seakers fault
Ireland, the highest % of wages spent on rent in the world.
Fuck this kip.
