You are so far off the mark with your criticism you should be embarrassed, you have made assumptions about what people here do for a living, how they have worked during the pandemic and what they sacrificed, and made an ar5se of yourself!I

Further you have completely ignored the empathy I have shown for emergency services and have written as much in the CV thread,

I'm not the one who complained about the fatness of my pandemic wallet! I'm just grateful me and my colleagues worked together to get our critical industry through it, all of us taking pay cuts, and you expect me to deliver you sympathy for not getting your annual rise!

Thats what you think, and its two annual rises now.

The first one they stated was a pandemic once in a lifetime blah blah blah.

The second one has been 0 explanation.

I'll remind you, I've been dressed like a human condom.  Walking into the covid areas.  Putting myself in those places.  The emergency service I provide is to the emergency services.  When you visit an emergency department 3 times a week during a pandemic, give up your Easter long weekend because the same service you work at suffers a cyber incident that takes the health care network down, you keep being asked to roll the sleeves up and work longer hours than you are paid for, the least you can expect is to have your twice annual CPI pay increase  honoured as the proverbial stops hitting the fan.

The other industries are about to get all their cash back with interest from people like me, who did their best to support as many local business during said pandemic the whole time, but your response lacked even a modicum of empathy and was very high horse so if you don't like it, next time keep it to yourself.

Oh, and if your curious im on an administrative award pay rate.  Most ward clerks get paid more than me, and im an IT professional.

HS2.  Im sure you can google what that pays.  Then consider the fact that my wife's hours were reduced because she works for a private health service and they actually stood some of their staff down last year.

Meanwhile the government paid everyone their pandemic support payments including my mother in law who got paid more than her regular wage to go on half hours and stay home.

Good for some.

Not all of those in the front lines it seems. 

Now am I bleeding about it?  No, but you got the response you deserved last time and you should wear a lot of egg for this one too.
