Wall Street
Well, it's taken them three years to finalise, but the council finally announced how everyone is affected.
In those 3 years I have gone from being optimistic that I would see a rise in salary to being hopeful of a favourable result and finally apprehensive that I may be amongst the 16% who faced a cut. As it transpired my worries were born out and in three years I face being £100 worse off per month.
There are two reasons I find this frustrating:
One - the work I do for the council brings in around £60,000 a year in profit.
Two - a guy in social services who hasn't been with the council for 7 years and only handles internal stuff is around £6k a year better off than me.
I am not feeling bitter that my colleague is on a handsome salary and one that I feel I deserve the equal to, but I am bitter that the whole Job Evaluation scheme is meant to be about 'valuing staff' and 'equality'. Basically its all a bunch of bollocks.
As it is I shall be appealing in any case. There is also the chance I will have a new job description soon as well, forcing them to re-evaluate. And seeing as the new job has more of a junior management slant I should be okay. In the meantime I shall seeth away to my heart's discontent.

Hard lines Sambo, but I think it only psuedo-effects you; in three years time I expect you to be so far ahead in the role, that any evaluation they did in 2003 will be obsolete. You'll be on that S02 wage before you know it!
I have a blog too Teeej!
Aye, dudes... tis a bit of a mare at the mo. Whatever this role gets evaluated at though will impact on future roles. So the boss is gonna take two lines for the appeal. One will be marrying up my role with those in Design & Print. The other is to align mine with the bloke in Social Services, as I am far above him in job responsibility and so on. So should be interesting.
The best of luck to you. All limbs crossed!
