Been a strange couple of days. Firstly got the results of the grievance hearing appeal. Long story short, I complained because one of my staff gets paid more than I do. Seems reasonable to me that if I take more responsibility then I should be rewarded for this. The company reacted as if this is a strange one, that somehow I have gone mad asking for this. Their response - the staff member gets paid too much so they will not award him the annual pay rise, even though he scored really well in his appraisal. Oh, and I won't get any more after this year either. So now, I feel that I am responsible for him not getting a rise, and I still am no better off. So I appealed, on the grounds that I feel it is unfair to penalise him, and it would be OK if everyone paid more than the recommended maximum for their grade were to have their pay frozen, but if not then it is not fair to react to my grievance by penalising hm. Got the response yesterday, basically the same, no rise for him, no change for me, and the comment that now this is out of the way perhaps I can concentrate on my new role! So I was supposed to go to the IDM show today and couldn't be bothered. Fuck em.
Over the last week I have been knocked back on the appeal, been moved to another division after 19 years in the old one, lost half my team, with no real rhyme or reason, had a new manager appointed to a role that wasn't advertised, so I didn't have the chance to go for it. They really know how to piss a person off.
