Originally posted by uk contractor View PostYou have to prove it though. Pretty difficult to do in reality. Some guy was there for many years so he was earning way more than the new manager in the team (to be fair he had become dead wood anyway as he would not pull his weight but still its very underhand and highly illegal). They tend to go down the route of your appraisal was below average due to specific factors vs your co-workers so most people leave of their own accord once they put the pieces together in their minds that they are effectively being shown the door. Apparently once you get 3 below average appraisals they can just sack you after the required verbal & written legal warnings and just pay your notice period with no handshake payoff.Comment

Finance is a massive sector and the City is a huge part of that.
Some might argue an adjustment is long overdue but will be painful in the short to mid term.Comment
