Think yourself lucky.
This year I got no pay rise and it doesn't look like I will next year either..
The reason?
Millions of £ was spent on equipment we didn't need and couldn't afford to pay for.
The Board over estimated the amount of revenue we would get from trade we didn't have, had no guarantee of getting and, as it was, didn't get.
The Company fell out big time with it's biggest customer and had a major and very humiliating public slanging match with them, the Board lost.
The **** is flying, but there are many teflon coated managers around and blame seems to last for a nanosecond before it's passed on.
The Company is now relying on it's major investor to bail it out, but they've already put in many £millions of their own wonga and want to know what's going on.
Blimey!
Anyone would think I worked for Gordon Brown! if only......
