It's very hard to get rid of people here. There's an employee I think should have been fired or gotten rid of years ago and the most they've done is put him on written warnings and probation.

Yep, there is this too here and worse in NZ because of the everyone knows everyone problem and attitudes this side of the pond. Bloody annoying.
Honestly folks, a guy you would know would be gone where you work and is fired, over this side 3 months and they still around doing the same crap.

Follow up time.

As a result of pointing out my unhappiness with the pay thing, I ended up getting a lump sum one off payment rather than a rise, as I was already fairly high up in my band. I was told that it needed to be this way as given my position on my band it would make it harder for me to get anything meaningful in future should I be promoted (a vacancy was coming up).

The lump sum pretty much equated to what the raise would have been over the year, so I was happy.

Promotion has now come about. Have gone from a senior technician post to "quality technician" (second in command to the supervisor) 4 days a week, and lab supervisor 1 day a week.

The pay rise? A whopping $35 a week. Talk about a slap in the face for the added responsibility. Have told myself that the next 6 months are training, and when the annual appraisals happen they better give me a meaningful  rise. I think I'm on 90 and 95% of my new bands whereas before I was at about 105%, so there's definitely room to grow.

I'd be looking around to see what the market is like and where your new job title can take you.

Its not greedy at all, i dont currently earn what i am worth but i value my skill set very high.

I am 44 years old, i have 20 years Ebay and online selling and marketing experience, i can do wonders for any business, as i think way outside of the box, ask Alan i helped him out a couple of times, generating customers without zero advertising budget, ive also helped multiple companies get back into positive standing on ebay when they have been in the red, which doing it once is a feat in itself.

I have worked in scrap/salvage for many years, i left the last yard about 3 years ago, i was offered a job back at £25k and 10% commission (about £41k a year on base £20k a month) way too low,  but i wouldnt take it, i am currently doing manual labour for about £30k a year and im happy, no stress.

If i were to go back to sales, i value myself way above the average person and can generally storm interviews, i wouldnt work for less than £50k OTE, but i have been looking at jobs outside of the UK as they offer much better renumeration packages for skilled sales people.

I am genuine and sell from the heart, its always been a part of me, while others just see it as a job or way to earn money
