Much of what you say is true Bex. What I find sad about the situation is the salary envy from low down the payscales towards those high up the payscales, yet that exact same disparity existed when we were all starting out. We viewed it as, “Well my salary is pretty crap right now, but we’ll get there one day and then it will be great, and it will have all balanced out”. It was not something to envy, but something to look forward to. That is what I find difficult to comprehend. The current generation seem to be of the belief that now that pp24ers are finally starting to taste some jam, they should give it to their more junior colleagues. We have somehow been on the peanuts all this time, but we now do not deserve the jam. I totally acknowledge that I experienced a brief moment of jam before Covid pulled the rug out from underneath me, but I had been waiting over two decades to taste it.
