Unless the aforementioned payrise/bung has 5 zeros at the end of it, I'm not interested and they can shove it where they see fit.
I agree that we have been guilty in the past of accepting the odd grand here or there as a bung but this is a completely different issue. do the management actually have the slightest idea of how we feel about this? Chucking us a few grand on another payrise, which shouldnt be connected to the pension issue anyway, is just asking for a strike.
