Recieved a disappoining pay rise for the new FY. Despite my employer saying they weren’t interested in negotiating the amount, I am asking for more anyway. Worst that can happen is they say no. And let them - so when I leave, they know their tightassery is to blame.
I’m on an EBA which has just expired, which means my employer will spend the next year failing to negotiate, before eventually agreeing to 4% a year for the next three years, with maybe a $1000 one off payment which does not make up for the year without a payrise, and it will be reported in the media as a 12% payrise making everyone think that is an annual rate. Then I get to see people grumble about public servant fatcats wasting public money while actually getting less than average. It’s a great life as a wage earner, isn’t it?

Be very clear if it’s a no “well then. I guess I’m back on the market. I suggest you plan accordingly.”
