Pay Rises: Should They Be Guaranteed?

The government (go Tories, go Tories) have announced below-inflation pay rises for NHS staff in England, and some higher level staff will get no rise at all.

As usual, the Unions are all over it like a rash and are already threatening strike action.

Isn't this half the problem with modern day society though, people seem to expect a pay rise these days rather than earn it. Shouldn't we be encouraging a society where a pay rise is a reward for excellent work, not just getting out of bed in the morning?

My staff don't get a guaranteed pay rise, they have to work for it. At the end of the year they have to justify why I should dig deep into my pockets to fund their lifestyle. Pam, 52 years old and secretary of the after work sex club, hasn't had a pay rise since 1999 because all she does is the bare minimum. If she wasn't a gay dwarf I would have sacked her years ago.

So how do you feel about this? Should people get a guaranteed pay rise regardless of their performance?

Put Pam on short time.

You utter bell-end, Whittam!

It's not even a 1% pay rise their getting in the NHS, it's actually (basically) a one-off payment which equates to 1% of their annual salary, in lieu of a proper pay-rise, so next year, they're back to where they were last year in terms of salary.

If you're going to post shit on here, at least do your research properly, you tory hag....

You fecking bellend, you mean you read it on the BBC website. I got my info from a doctor himself.

Regardless of you being wrong, the question remains the same - isn't it wrong to offer blanket pay rises?

NHS staff have been well and truly shafted. It's not as if they are really well paid to start with.

I wouldn't give them any pay rise, they are lucky to be in a job.
If they don't want to do it, feck off.

"Oh my GOD!!" screamed the woman, "That's disgraceful!!! Why is he doing that?"

The doctor who was leading the tour calmly explained, "I'm very sorry that you were exposed to that, but this man has a serious condition where his testicles rapidly fill with semen, and if he doesn't do that at least 5 times a day, he'll be in extreme pain and his testicles could easily rupture".

Oh well, in that case, I guess it's ok." commented the woman. In the very next room, a male patient was lying in bed and it was obvious that a nurse was performing oral sex on him. Again, the woman screamed, "Oh my GOD!! How can THAT be justified?"

Again the doctor spoke very calmly, "Same illness but he's with BUPA"

So you agree with me - people should earn pay rises?

Who gives a fuck?

Quite where I agreed with you would only be noticed by somebody smoking something stronger than Marlboro menthol!
I was merely congratulating a fellow poster on his ability to liven up a thread about more bullshit with a timely joke.
That simple enough for you to understand?
For somebody that likes to put themselves on a high pedestal you do like to emulate a gimp.

   Y did you edit it, come on don't be shy.

Personally, I have a lot of time for nurses. One of my sisters and my sister in law are both nurses at Townleys. They have to put up with an awaful lot of shit and very unsociable hours. They certainly are not raking it in as some would have you believe.

It's a bloody difficult job and certainly not one that I could do.

I spelt your'e instead of you're. I blame the weed and the lateness of hour.

Nobody forced them to take the job, I agree its a difficult one, but the country is fucked.
