Not again

I hate having to do my own appraisal. It's past 11:00pm and I'm failing dismally to conjure the words for a third "key strength" and any "areas for improvement."

There are a gazillion areas for improvement but the secret is to find the biggest.

I have such crappy take home pay after childcare and tax, any pay increase is almost irrelevant. What I mean is that to have a significant impact on my take home pay, any pay rise would have to be huge in percentage terms.

Can't see it, can you? When Union agreement for salaried staff is 4.25%, that'll likely be the average for us. A few percentage points either way isn't a fortune (but is better than average of 1.something% last year).
