I think I am fairly well paid on the whole but feel that the company needs to keep a closer eye on the rate of increase in other factors of living in London. I can't afford to buy a house so am renting and my pay rise this year will not allow me to stay in my flat given the rent increase and council tax increase.
When asked why my rise was so low (in comparison to the last years) I was told that it was because our profit related pay was high this year. Now correct me if I am wrong but isn't the whole point of PRP to be a bonus on top of the monthly salary. Therefore shoudn't the monthly/yearly wage be allocated without any thought of the PRP. I realise I am being a little picky but I would be happy to do without PRP if I knew my salary would cover my living expenses.
Thanks for the chance to rant a bit.
