As flyfast says, it is what it is. If EK does not meet your expectations then adjust your expectations because EK is not going to change to meet your expectations.
Thats exactly the way I see it.
You should know you are joining as an expat and being an expat will be the same in pretty much any company/country.
Yes being from the UK we have “help” from the government but we received £0. If you have savings over £12k you get 0 help. The only way you really get help is to have nothing, no savings, no property and be renting.
We still got to pay the mortgage, bills which are 50% up this year, kids nursery fees (£2500 a month for 2). Ok the government paid a bit during the initial lockdown but there were caveats to it. It wasn’t a free for all and we didn’t fit the rules.
I only know J2 who have had 7% or something pay rise this year. The rest 0.
Is what it is and with inflation over 10% this year certainly in the UK and most airport employees have to drive to work with fuel at £2a litre the next 5 years will be savage.
