Those who take the £2k fail the test and get put top of the 'cut in January' list. wink

Since they've abolished the 10% band you'll probably get the lot -NI?

Just sign this contract to confirm 2k increase...

Oh redundancies are on the cards, sorry you've only been on this new contract 1 month.

Ta Ta. Hope the extra £150 you got in your last salary helps with the mortgage/food/suicide bid...

Re read the letter - it says your new salary is £2k, not that you've got a £2k increase

What have you done to warrant having your salary doubled?

How much of that do you think you'll see, probably less than two thirds me thninks unless you are already in the high tax bracket and don't pay extra NI.

Lucky you don't have a manager with a sick sense of humour. I had a similar thing done to me, well except it was from a phonecall. Bearing in mind this was around 2001 during the dotcom fallout, axes being swung, cardboard boxes ..

5pm on a Friday, phone call from a meeting room on HR floor .. my stomach is churning as I walk to the meeting room wondering why they've left it so late in the week.

Just to perpetuate my misery my manager says 'i've got bad news for you' but then follows up with 'only kidding' - though he did a ticking off from HR. I've never left a meeting feeling so sick even though i got a juicy rise.
