NLN your gonna love this!
Do you honestly think that ANYONE is going to accept working in an enviroment where an increase in experience and loyalty(seen from the point of view of continued service) is ignored?
I decided to do this job because i wanted to, NOT for the financial reward, however i also accept that the guy sat next to me with his increased experience and thus knoweledge should be renumerated for his greater service (ie longer) to the company.
My message to anyone on the T&D scale - and your REALLY not gonna like this - is TOUGH! This is the way it is. If you don't like it go to your union rep and start to get something done. If you didnt like the pay scales that much why did you join? Dont forget that you are getting paid a lot more than most of us when we were at college or newly posted - and, this will throw another spanner in the works - the courses now are much easier (I know ive done both pre and post Rgat) you even get an automatic recourse!!
Well, i think ive pissed enough people off for one night. Feel free to ignore my rantings!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goodnight all!!!!!!!!!!!
