Not had a payrise for 3 years, seen 4 friends lose their jobs in the last two weeks alone. Noticing my money going less and less far, it seems each month at the moment. 20% VAT rise is going to suck.

It's [Poor language removed], to be honest.
 
My company hasn't had any vacancies for over a year. Then in the last 2 months over 20+ jobs on the vacancy list in the tea room.

Weird?

4 new starters in my office in the last 3 weeks.
 
Last time I was laid off they ripped me for about £1600, was told I would have to take it to small claims and even then they couldn't force them to pay me what was owed.

I plod along on feck all though, and at the moment have to listen to others tales of woe, you know £50k+ per year, been told they could be losing their job, and have to tell me their problems and expect me to feel for them when they will get a payout of around £30k (tax free), yet in the time inbetween they don't address their outgoings and spending habits, or tell their wives that they may have to do with 1 pair of uggs this year.
