monkey104 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I was just wondering with all the cutbacks, pension freeze, pay freeze, job losses etc, if anyone knows of any good news stories where politicians, councillors or other highly paid public service workers have taken a pay cut, job loss or pay freeze. And I am not talking about MPs freezing their wage at £67,000 per year, cos if I was earning that much I would willingly take a pay freeze for a year!!

HeadingNorth Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 You want to know about highly-paid people taking a pay freeze, but not about highly-paid people taking a pay freeze? You're not making it easy for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is important that these people have increased my pension by about 7 1/2 % this year inspite of the lack of economic growth. Shoiuld I complain, no. I put money into the bank rarher to buy things, it seem I did the right thing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammy80 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 We are all in this together. I have had to sack 12 members of staff, and hand a pay freeze to the admin workers. The admin workers did agree to this, as the other option was to be sacked, so its great that workers are willing to be flexible to meet the needs of the service. I have seen the expenses allowed for travelling been cut back, and so instead of getting 75p a mile travelling fees, I now only get 35p a mile. This means when I drive to London for a coffee at my favourite Starbucks restaurant it now costs even more. We are all suffering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all suffering You are the pioneering spirit this country needs and my guess is that you would row down the Thames running over David Walliams on the way if need be. Thats the mark of a great boss. Dont dip on the Starbucks, its what keeps the spirits up in these difficult times and if the remaining staff were aware of your dillemma Im sure they would chip in by losing a days holiday.
