The dilema I feel is that the actual amount of pay that this all equates to doesn't really make much difference as my salary isn't that big.
A payment of 1 - 1.5% (per year for two years) isn't much different to nothing at all.
My main reason to vote no wouldn't be to hope for more pay, but to show managment that I don't appreciate their recent changes to employees conditions in general and how they go about things. I know their real intention is for CP3 not just the current economic conditions.
The vote yes would be because it's not a pay cut and it looks good in comparison to elsewhere in the industry thus I wouldn't feel guilty about
appearing to want a greater increase...
I am starting to come to a conclusion, even if it does feel like it'll be a shot in one of my feet. I suppose it's about taking a medium-term verse long-term view on things.
