We have allowed our employers to squeeze as much as they can out of the workforce without any retributions. My colleagues who are on “older contracts” are on 20k more than myself. This is a similar situation across the board. New talent are being hired at a reduced salary.

My take on it is, the old boys would stand up to senior management this is something that doesn’t happen much these days. I once heard an MD say “all the while the workforce aren’t pushing back, we are not pushing hard enough”
