Thank goodness, we now have someone who is prepared to adjust his plans depending on the situation instead of doggedly sticking to a plan that is obsolete.0 -

But the incremental rises should not be seen as a wage rise.
Wow. Just wow.

...the goalpost is 2% inflation. Has that moved?0 -

I can definitely agree that this is the way to go, unfortunately when I was one year old I vowed never to eat anything except rusks and powdered milk. It can be very embarrassing nowadays when out to restaurants with friends.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -

Some more grist t'mill. Some optimism, more pessimism?Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.0 -
Inflation is 1.9% now (latest figures out today). Absolutely zero chance of interest rates moving up at all. There is more chance of them falling.0

If Carney raises interest rate, Camoron and Gidiot would fire him. Simple as that.Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.0

So you've gone from implying that everyone is sat at the top of a pay grade to realising that there is salary progression.
Not really. Large multinationals have used pay bands and incremental scales, with bonus tweaks to reward additional performance, rather than scatter gun pay arrangements negotiated at individual level. Makes sense. These days more tend to have a pay pot that increases per grade which then gets broken down locally. Someone at the lower end of the grade boundary is more likely to to get pay increment on top of inflation rather than someone towards the top of the level.
Just over half of people getting an increment isn't most. Suggests that near half are sat at the top of their banding.
Well let's ignore the fact that it surprised you although you've managed to convince yourself it applied to the 'fat cats' only.

Nope never been convinced of that.
My wife is a midwife - I don't need to check with the Telegraph to see if she's had a pay rise or not. No surprise here.
The only thing I'm surprised at is Graham's defensiveness about getting pay rises that he won't allow to be called pay rises.
How long has your wife been a mid wife?
It is a a pay increment that should reflect increased capability, proficiency and responsibility not inflation adjustments. You have pointed out that you could readily move to get pay increases reflecting your improved abilities. That isn't so readily available in a closed environment.
Not sure how you believe staff should be motivated in such a closed environment without increasing the cost of HR and staff management functions to disproportionate levels.

Cameron and Gidiot would be be right to do so as he would not be doing as instructed."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Yes it is. It is exactly correctly described as "most".
How can you think otherwise?
"Most" means "more than half"...0
