I have got to go a MANDATORY BBQ tomorrow at work. I have to mingle with two people who are my friends but have inadvertantly screwed me over by trying to pass my job off as theirs in an attempt to get a payrise which instead resulted in a massive pay cut for me. My manager who went along with the whole thing and some fat cats who are going to do a speech about what a great job we have all done and how valued we all are.

I am furious sat here thinking about it. I can see a flounce coming. How the flip do you bite your tongue when you have been crapped on from a great height. Disappointed

You have to try to rise above it and remember that you did nothing wrong. Imagine how those two must feel having to face you with their guilt....along with your manager. They are the ones who ought to be ashamed and always remember that one word........Karma Thumbs Up

One of them is too clueless to know any different. The other thinks that they would get a pay rise and I would stay as I am. Mad I actually haven't spoken to either of them to get an answer because I will lose it.

I can't get a straight answer out of my manager keeps saying she is waiting for clarification from HR. Angry

My managers manager is a fat cat who will say if I don't like it I can find a new job, HR all stick together because they are led by a fellow fat cat and my union is overrun at the moment with complaints about said fat cats and HR. I am currently waiting for them to get back to me.

Only two options Linds.
Ignore it and go, get merry and pretend everything is ok.
Ignore it and go, get hammered and tell them what you think of them.
My take when I read your post the other day was that despite the credit crunchy thing, you should maybe have a look at some other jobs and not get bullied into taking a pay cut. Hug

I will. I haven't done a stitch since they told me. Spent first day looking for jobs, second day moaning with the other two people that also got a pay cut as a result. I need a new job and will find one but as much as I try to be chilled I get fiesty when provoked and am worried that new job maybe become urgent once I am sacked for telling the big boss where to stick his celebratory sausage.

Well, she needs to come clean if she really is a pal.


Nod Maybe Tequila is right, I will go with a half smile and see what they have to say for themselves. Karma must stay in my mind.

I have fond memories of Salford - I went to Uni there. I stayed in a flat in Eccles.
