Public Sector workers laughing all the way to the bank

Didn't the government do well?

The result will be massive layoffs in the not too distant future.
We'll see what the multi year pay deals are worth when they don't have a job to go to.

I work in the public sector and I got 1% this year.

doctor these bonuses theyre much more deserving

Doctors are already on circa £100K a year. A settlment that even the BMA couldn't believe at the time.
They are on quite enough as it is already.

As for all the usual nonsense about "why don't you just go and work in the public sector?"

You just don't get it. I do NOT want to work for them.
I am sick of seeing the private sector being mugged with tax and creating massive future liabilities for our country instead of facing up to the mess we are in.

They should double the fines on speed cameras tbh

I work in the private sector and 25% of employees at my company got laid off this year.

Thanks for highlighting the differences:rolleyes:

Which is quite a long way from the reality, which is that the govt has been insistent upon multi-year pay deals as a way of imposing restraint in the boom years.

This is the result.

As you say ...... from dt's OP

The ONS said that the main reason for the widening gap was that some parts of the public sector had agreed multi-year pay deals before the downturn.

Let's see how things pan out in the future. Donald will likely be feeling a lot happier.

He still hasn't commented on his own pay rise - probably a good deal heftier than an average public sector worker. But then, he obviously thinks he's worth a good deal more.

Would it be preferable to have the 'public sector' laid off and sitting at home on state handouts?

This bit's interesting, too

But the ONS gave warning that the survey, based on a 1 per cent sample of records held by HM Revenue & Customs, could have been skewed by a decision to reclassify private sector staff at banks that were bailed out by the taxpayer — Lloyds TSB, Royal Bank of Scotland and HBOS — as public sector workers.
