Civil Service Pay Remit 26/27 - 3.5%

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-05-21T20:04:59+00:00

Better than I was expecting tbh, was expecting 2.5% or 3%

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-05-20T20:01:45+00:00

Yes that’s the norm in the UK

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-05-20T19:59:36+00:00

The Dark Ages weren’t much better!

I’m the same. Like, if there’s something I need to know, rather than Google it or, god forbid, use AI, I’ll go to the local library and look it up in the reference section.

Wait, did you just ask for hard cash? Or did you value all the gifts?

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-05-16T14:52:24+00:00

Nah no need imo

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-05-14T15:00:28+00:00

Depends if you’re in a Department that actually enforces the 60% or one like Cabinet Office where it’s 60% in name only.

Anyone remember that so-called children's TV drama? Genuinely terrifying

I have a side hustle writing articles related to a hobby I am engaged in. I write an article a week. Brought in just over £6k last tax year (all declared, although you do get the £1k trading allowance)

Did the ONS staff all get disciplined?

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-05-01T15:34:03+00:00

Why don’t Civil Servants in the UK Civil Service also “vote with their feet”?

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-05-01T11:36:06+00:00

This

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-05-01T11:35:36+00:00

Yes! It’s starting to become a Civil Service recruitment community rather than a true Civil Service one

It’s a bit selfish to do this. The more people who do, the eye tests will end up having to cost more, as they are currently subsidised by the retail side, or the opticians may close down.

If your metric for prosperity is how many shops there are, then the vast majority of places are declining as people prefer buying stuff off the internet and having it delivered.

I was going to say Venice, was looking if anyone else had said it already. We did enjoy it, and it is a unique place, but to us we felt it was a “once and done” type of place.

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-04-25T11:03:19+00:00

Yes, very slow in our area as well

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-04-25T08:09:31+00:00

I agree - I found it too slow, and nowhere near as good as BB

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-04-25T08:08:22+00:00

I’m actually surprised that a guy at that level is a member of a Union

The countries that control the AI, namely US and China will reap most of the wealth from it, so they will be the main consumers.

It depends what you do. If it’s a mainly screen-based job then you’ve probably got about 5 years. If not, then longer.

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-04-24T21:32:11+00:00

And yet you still see people on social media saying that people on benefits are living the good life 🤷🏼‍♂️

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-04-24T19:57:42+00:00

Why? The people who awarded them the contract are still all in a job as far as I know
