Why should I be grateful I didn't lose my job? If the pay cut stays as it is im gonna leave anyway. There's so much work out there for people who can be bothered to find it. I hate people who whinge about losing they're jobs. Either way now I've lost the pay rise my car is gonna be up for sale again. You shouldn't be able to give someone a piece of paper telling them how much they are getting paid have both people sign it and pay you at that rate for month, only to say sorry other people are upset about your pay level so were taking the rise off you.
