I agree. For someone on £30k a £1000 consolidated payment represents a 3.3% pay increase. If you add that to the 5% that everyone gets it means that the lower paid ranks are actually getting 8.33%. I think that’s fair - the juniors are feeling the impact of the cost of living crisis much more than the seniors.
and it still gives us the moral high ground because Joe Public will only see the 5% and probably feel sorry for us. Smoke and mirrors maybe but it maintains our goodwill with the man on the street.
