What are you moaning about at least they haven't asked for you to give 110%! 
There is nothing more frustrating than bosses that do not acknowledge a good effort etc, doesn't need much more than a thank you, it's even worse when they can only pick out negatives and never the positives

I think the only attitude problem is of the OP. It doesn;t take much to see that many are taking pay cuts or actually losing their jobs. If the OP isn't happy, then look elsewhere but I think that he/she will find the grass is rather more brown elsewhere than it used to be.
That still count if the comapny is making record profit? (like mine is with huge bonuses for managment)What they are doing is using the climate to save money and make themselves more.
Not ethical in my head. Now I am not a communist but if I ran a company I would not act like that.
Just because other companies are cutting wages it should not be used as an excuse to cut yours when there is no need.
do you run your own business 993tt?
When I started working at the end of the last recession things were tough then too. Would often work 10-20 hours a week overtime for no additional pay. Had a job though that I liked and it set me up for a career in the industry where I now make the decision on overtime and bonuses for my staff.
Keep at it.
Keep at it.

There's probably going to be quite a few hard years for most companies and they need to keep as much cash as they can to ride those years out. It's not as simple as saying we've made money this year so let's share it all out and spend it. Companies can't be run that way in times like this.
There are options for those not happy as employees - 1) leave and join another company 2) leave and set up business yourself but be prepared for a big change of lifestyle if you want to have even the most remote chance of success.
F.O.A Silver993tt
have been doing this job for 8yrs i really enjoy and i work hard as the survey results show.
You have the same attitude as my employers(maybe you are)So here is what you can do.
Buy a mirror look into it for quite sometime then look around you at your fellow man if that fails to make you a better person try something else but please keep trying.
You're comments don't bother me but the attitude to which you post doe's.
If you are an employer and you have that same attitude i very much doubt there is nice atmosphere with employees or any workmates.

We were supposed to have a 2% pay rise from 1st of august but that hasn't happened.
Our contracts manager is looking into it HA.
After his monthly meet he did ask if we could do a few extra jobs to help the client out a bit more.
So i suppose that if you are at the bottom of the food chain...
Most are taking apay cut, so I really don't see what your problem is. You have a job unlike many and you haven't had a pay cut, lucky you.Our contracts manager is looking into it HA.

That was 2 years ago and the pay cuts and redundancy happened then, they cant/shouldnt keep using that as the excuse for not rewarding success with the majority of the workforce and instead rewarding their managers the success...
That a happy and content workforce does not make...

God I hate that expression."We/I gave 110%" No you f
king didn't you've just not tried hard enough in the past. 
WorAl. You need to watch more talent shows on a Saturday night.
If you're not giving at least 110% then it's not even worth turning up.

I think you'll find option 3) - stay at company slowly erroding moral by whispering valid complaints amoungst the team until place no longer has an "all in it together" vibe; reducing productivity and staff retention - adding costs as bringing new people in requires recruitment costs and training (with reduced productivity until new staff is up to speed) which could have been avoided had a little thanks and recognition been given at the right time - Is the preferred option.Dupont666 said:
