I'm sad :( My work were due to do a job evaluation because with our three legacy organisations, everyone is on different wages. During this time I've had two promotions, but I am still on pretty much the same wage as I was in the first job. My role was advertised publically at £8k more than I am getting paid for it. This means that when my colleagues are hired in October (I was the only internal person who passed the hiring criteria, so there are 3 jobs going), I will be getting paid 3/4 of their wage. We all knew about the public sector pay freezes, but were constantly being told that this didn't count, as it wasn't a pay rise for a lot of people, but now it seems that that might not be the case. I feel all poop and let down and undervalued. It means I'm going to lose out on over £16k in the next two years until the freeze is lifted.

£16 over two years?

That really sucks Nat!

Yes, underpaid £8k per year x two years.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about £16. What's that - five pints?

No wonder I'm such a lazy employee.

Actually I'm not. I do a LOT of work. Despite what my postcount on here might suggest.

Ah, I see. Still, what's that - 4,571 pints?

I don't know, I don't drink pints :(

It's Poops McGee :(

Poor you Nat. That is a ridiculous amount of wonga.

I'm even more determined to give the comedy a go now. Shag that, I'm gonna make myself rich!

This isn't a comment on your stand-up, which I haven't seen, but you'd be better off giving handjobs I reckon. It makes up 25% of my revenue anyway.
