I think you are right Fartmaster particularly as we are likely to get VAT on all goods by years end. However it could be worse. I personally reckoned on 10% on pay plus 3% increment so at least it is 3% better than that. I think we all kid ourselves with stories of 20% plus pay rises. This I am sure will never ever happen while we work at EK. Just remember the Tesco's company motto. "Every little bit counts".
On another subject. Anyone noticed yet another building burning merrily away down SZR by the Dubai Internet City Villa's compound. Lots of big flames on top of building with the Police and media buzzing overhead. This is the third big fire this year. Must be getting complacent me thinks.
Enjoy spending your bonus and rise. Cheers all.
