Thanks Nats, for making me feel really appreciated
NOT!!!!
Once again our management have seen fit to disrespect all of us with this pitiful and insulting offer.
Someone, somewhere, is taking the piss and I,like many others, have decided ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!
Message to Nats management;
This year you have offered 3% rise + 2% cos this is such a "great??" deal, so i suggest your MINIMUM offer in basic rise should be at least 5%. This is before we get to the bonuses, which we won't see a penny of until around early next summer anyway. If you wish to show your appreciation for the incredible hard work and dedication we all put in every day then by all means do so and pay us a bonus but, however, do NOT, repeat, DO NOT put it in with the pay deal, especially as the conditions for the bonuses are targets already set by you and which practically all of us have no control over.
As for the OJTI 3%, I suggest you come back with an offer that reflects the work involved, not an offer with strings attached meaning a very few people will actually see anywhere near 3%.
I hope all staff will join me and those above in giving this insulting offer the treatment it deserves, if you don't I'd be really interested in hearing your views.
Oh, by the way IPMS, thanks for trying to shoot us in the foot by recommending the offer, my e-mail is on its way!
