wage scale

[mojomaz]

When you start a job & your wage range is say £24,000-£30,000 how long does it take to reach the top scale? Thanks

[ChuckFickens]

Any time between 2 days and 20 years.

depends on the sectors in the scale and if they are increse ally or by something like performance measurement. without knowing that, we ca't answer the question! x

[lcg]

sorry...'increase annually'

[mojomaz]

Or thanks very much, most helpfull.

And ChuckFickens,

What about, 2days, to 20 years, to never. Or worse yet, you bust your hump for 30 years and suddenly a younster fresh from college with an obscure degree in something like 'man magement and modern analysis' is assigned to your department. You are told to teach him the business..six month later, half of your work is given to him............six months later, you don't have a full time job, because, "We thought you would appreciate only working a few hours a week." Then you realise, everything is being routed via the new kid.

But, your not redundant or fired, just in limbo until you can't stand the constant search for a gainful task, and quit, drastically reducing overheads

And that's the real world of modern business

Of course, to add to Old Salt 's answer, his scenario would most likely only happen if the new recruit was better than you, worked harder and was more productive (and perhaps a tad less pessimistic too?!)

mojo...look at what you are asking and the information provided before sarcasm! if you want a sensible answer, ask a sensible question x

[mojomaz]

It was a sensible answer, whats got up your nose? Happened to you as it.

depends who you sleep with!

You can't put a time scale on it. I've been in my job over 22 years and have been promoted a few times. My last promotion was 11 years ago and I'm nowhere near the top of the pay scale in relation to my grade even though I get pay rises each year. Well apart from last year and probably not this year also.

[factor-fiction]

It's now far less common than it used to be for staff to receive automatic annual increments and eventually reach the top of the scale. Often progression is dependent on performance (exceeding targets), or firms give lower % rises to those above the middle of the scale so people tends to stall at some point part way up a grade scale.

i beg to differ, dear, it was not a sensible QUESTION. you appear so dumb you can't even argue back properly. my post wasn't rude...but you certainly are! by all means, do keep entertaining the crowds...i do believe that every single person on this thread has now said the same thing and i felt i needed to rile you again as your attitude problem is so funny...
