I love it when Breadavan pops up on these threads, it's so great to have someone qualified and experienced standing up for people who would otherwise either get steamrollered by the corporation or dig themselves a hole based on well-meaning but incorrect advice.

+1 I agree - thanks Breadvan

I only do it to keep the thread running until someone says "post photos of the Missus". At that point my work is done and I bugger off.

In the interests of equal opportunities I think we should also request photos of the hubbie. And to be non-speciesist, the dog, cat and goldfish.

OP, bung me the details of the discussions and I can give you a view on whether your wife can press for the larger pay rise.

OP, snap BV's hands off at this offer and listen to his advice.

sadly this happens a lot.

you'll find the line manager doesnt have the authority to secure the payrise and if you fight it you'll lose as a signed form isnt a change of contract or a contractual document.

as for needing a reference, most companies.now just send a reference stating start and end dates to confirm you were employed as they dont want to get sued so I wouldnt worry about that.

take the money and look for another job anyway.

Would agree with this.

Sounds like her manager has promised something above their ability to sign off, at best, at worst they're untrustworthy.

Would start looking around if I was in that position, using the improvement in store position as a selling point - and the reason whys she's looking for a new challenge!
