    Oh fun, a real life prisoner’s dilemma.

    I bet we can all guess whether employers hold up their end of the bargain by reining in profits. Gotta make sure those shareholders get theirs.

    Lmao what a load of bs shit

    Accept lower pay deals… Are prices going to decrease in the short term? Nope.

    They expect people to live on bread and water because they fucked everyone too hard.

    Fuck them

    This is what Brixit was all about. British corporations wanted to slash wages but couldn’t under the EU because British labor would just leave. But now their stuck and now the employers are going full mask off

      It took me embarrassingly long to realize you meant the British labor force would leave, as in they’d get jobs in France or something, rather than the British LaborParty would leave (and go where, I couldn’t figure out)…

    Yeah right. We’ve had next to no wage increases over the last 15 years but workers still carry the can. Totally ignore the energy companies raising their prices significantly based on costs yet still make huge record profits. Ditto supermarkets.

    ill accept lower pay rises when I see lower profits, and CEOs refusing rises / giving back money to pay employees instead.

    Haha. What else? How about lowering taxes on corporations and ultra wealthy? That obscene wealth will eventually trickle down, you know!

    If it is anything like here in the US, it is price gouging causing a large chunk of inflation.

    I tried to refuse pay for on call recently as it has tax implications that I didn’t want to do deal with, but my employer refused.

    So, yeah, take it up with them you bunch of bankers.
