Extra supplements? Only one we get is for working shifts and bank holidays. That is the same for everyone, even the units that close over Christmas or New Year, so not massive. Non-NATS airfields are a comparable salary to mine.
The Manager I was referring to was the head of HR. The only other one I deal with is the Unit GM and they earn more than me or an ATSA 4.
Just remember the moaning ATCOs do work hard, and if I work for another company so what. I started outside NATS, I still got paid, and had the usual management BS. Plus ce change. (apologies for the appalling French)
My 4 ratings say I do have a clue - along with the comments the airport customer make. OJTI, UCE, AAVA, UHP, TOIL, lunchen voucher(payment now) and now gone but home to duty. Interestingly how many times have you called your GM in the evening, weekends etc...and just remember who the safety accountability also sits with and would equally be in court should something go wrong, of course there always one option if you don't like management choices become one instead and make the changes you think should be.
