The changes to the top rate of tax(just back to New Labour levels) will not affect her in the slightest but it will help to encourage others to expand and, maybe in time our young friend will reach that level. Who know? Anyway, we’ll only know if this move works after some time and certainly by the time of the next GE. Then voters will decide. No it won’t. Trickle down is a lie. I do like the party line about new labour. It’s like justifying Human rights abuses by saying what Stalin did. New Labour bear a big chunk of the blame for inequality in our society. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many other waiting staff in the restaurant aren't being promoted and will have to live on poverty wages and tips? Still, at least they'll have first go at the waste food bins at the end of the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 What I like about this new approach is the direction of travel. From having the highest taxes for about 70 years we’re now back to a more reasonable level. Give me all the millionaires that we can get. Brings in more tax and employment. I celebrate people doing well and making lots of money. Its really depressing the stuff posted on here. Absolutely no sign of ‘get up and go’. A little example of how to get on- My wife and I frequent a local restaurant and we are friendly with the staff.

No need for doom and gloom.They still have to pay for it but it will be through indirect taxes and charges - or, more likely, paying through the nose to a private supplier for services no longer provided by the public sector. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hospitality is fucked because there is an enormous labour shortage. And while a great fun place to work, hospitality is in fact a really shitey career for most, low wages, long hours, and high volatility so low job security. Pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 In my admittedly brief involvement in the hospitality industry many years ago, (hotel "up north" ) having a junior management position just meant that the poor sod took all the gripes from staff and customers for a tiny increase in pay. The extra responsibility itself was seen as the "benefit" which was ridiculous given that at the end of the tourist season almost all staff were shown the door. The junior manager, being slightly more expensive to employ, would be more likely to get the boot. Fewer bedrooms to clean and fewer meals in the restaurant meant fewer staff to "supervise" so less need for a junior manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 The amount of attention DPB gets just by pretending to be thick and callous is extraordinary. Surprised his awful wife's happy with a woman being in any kind of management role, though. Thatcherite standards are slipping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I remember my first job included the word Junior in the job title, same as two of my colleagues. One day the boss called us into his office and proudly announced that the word Junior would be removed from our job titles. No salary increase. Nothing else changed. He thought we would be more impressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've told his boss that your boss seemed like he'd be prepared to eschew his next pay rise in exchange for having the word "ultimate" added to his job title. Bet he'd have been delighted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you have a whole schtick on here and someone else has already replied to cover this, but im about 99.99% sure that this (in all likelihood fabricated) Junior Management Position will be about 8x the workload and stress for, at most, an extra £2 an hour, probably more like £1.50. Maybe if they're really lucky they get the joy of longer guaranteed hours, but thats it. Some folk might think its worth it, but not everyone does. From doing supermarket home deliveries for a while after losing my job during the pandemic, the wage increments where i was were pretty garbage - thats retail and im sure its the same story in hospitality. Was £9.50 an hour for in store staff, £10.50 an hour for delivery drivers and £11.50 for supervisors. Tips actually sometimes meant you'd be earning more doing the driving than the store supervisors (some weeks at least, idk if they also had bonuses on top of their wage too but i doubt it) but it was a relentless grind, hated it after a while. Theres only ever 1x store manager thats needed and all, so pretending the rat race in most employment sectors is something people should relish is, all due respect, a load of shite.

They're too smart to get caught out like that. Well, most of them. It would, however, be hilarious if it turned out that the spooks had already been performing drug testing on MPs for years, and somebody got access to their big spreadsheet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
