There is absolutely no chance of getting a pay rise, the salaries are so scuffed at Octopus. There are people who are somehow earning much more than people who actually put in the effort.
When you finally qualify for a pay rise, you’ll get turned down because somehow they’ve now added a further 5 criteria without telling you. There are constant excuses to not give you a pay rise, oh but they won’t hesitate to order lunch in for your team every week. Free lunch doesn’t pay my bills.
