"So we’ve just been told that we’re not getting a payrise this year because of Labours taxes that have been introduced, management are blaming labours new NI tax on employers but the workforce are seeing is a piss poor management and should have already prepared themselves for it, specially as the company is spending money in all the wrong places. Thoughts?" Don't you remember what Reeves said, when she acknowledged that the NI tax increases would likely impact wage growth. We all knew this was going to happen and it is going to get worse. Out of interest how do businesses prepare for costs they hadn't factored in less than 6 months ago? | |||

"There’s more businesses closing than opening Economic growth outlook halved Housing starts and completions down Car sales down Tourism down Online and retail down Unemployment up Business rates and employer NI up Significant turn in economy since Labour took office. " Still it's all the Tories fault, or the war in Ukraine or Israel or Trump. Take your pick as long as not looking at the architect | |||

Thoughts?" By my calculation for a worker earning £35k the increase in NI is costing their employer about 4.5%. More for lower paid, less for higher paid. So that is money for a reasonable pay rise going straight to the government. At least Public Sector workers got a rise. | |||

"Let's face it despite the what the Tories say now their the opposition they only ever looked after the rich! They shat on the worst off. At the moment labour are just following the same trend they are no longer the party for the people. We need to hit the reset button and look for a new way forward." How about just for once, we stop that bloke knocking in the back door with his big black rod.  | |||

" To be honest if you don't like it leave and get a job somewhere else. " Unless you're enjoying the decline in UK society the issue is that many people are doing just what you say, taking that advice and making like trees right now... They have been for at least ten years in large numbers, I bet I would struggle to speak to anyone these days who doesn’t know someone personally who has done just that. Many of the would-be tax paying, but more importantly productivity generating professionals who don't find the UK an attractive proposition anymore, because it simply isn't for the majority. Work don't pay. | |||

"Some thoughtful comments there, i don’t have the option to just leave though cause I don’t like it, i won’t bore you with the details why, but today was quite laughable, the director was being overly nice to everyone and has just quietly left to go to Aintree Racecourse for the rest of the day, looking after number one 🙄" that's the perks of running a company,why anyone thinks management would share the wealth is beyond me,the reason they are in those positions is because of there attitudes | |||
