on Friday when the subject of annual pay rises cropped up that working hard and using your initiative goes unnoticed by the company, only the people who work long over time hours get noticed and their pay rise will reflect that, the people like myself who dont work long hours will probably get a pay rise not worth mentioning even though ive been working my arse of.
So , basically , men with family's and kids who cannot work long hours will get very little and the guys with no responsibility's get a decent rise, somehow that doesnt seem right to me, especially after working my arse off for a year in the hope that this job might get me somewhere. Needless to say I am looking for other work. Thoughts?
A Deuce , a Tele and a cup of tea.

front up and ask what tasks / work do the others achieve in longer hours that you do not. Why are they worth more than what you do.
It's funny how the story often changes from how well you've done to how much better you could have done when money comes into it. When you've got supporting documentation it's hard for them to do that.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youBend over. Gobble. Laugh at feeble jokes of senior management. Lose to them at Golf.
My brother used to be a civil servant. He fell into a similar trap to you. Hoping to make a good impression, my brother got stuck in to the difficult/cold caseload that nobody else wanted to tackle. Rather than reward my brother's efforts, his supervisor assumed that my brother enjoyed that type of work and left him to it.
I’m hoping when I reach my anniversary of 10 years I’ll find something better.
When I do I’ll have no qualms writing about it here!
I totally agree with you - we work in teams of two, I'm done three hours earlier than the other guy who's spinning it out because he wants the overtime and hates his wife.
All our colleagues know that's the case, but he's the blue-eyed boy as far as the manager is concerned because he's always in the building, but if he followed him around for the day he be appalled at the value for money he's not getting.
That's life I'm afraid, though if he wants to amble around turning a fairly responsible and interesting job into a lengthy, tedious week while I'm playing in the garden with the grandkids I'm ok with that.
Look back at it as time you spent with your kids, instead of wasting it in the office with lead-swingers.
