Received the following email from my employer today:
We understand that we are facing a once in a generation challenge as a result of high inflation. We also understand that the rising cost of living has a more severe impact on our less senior staff. Indeed we recognised this in our annual salary review in June.
We will be making a one off cost of living payment to everyone globally on our internal organisation below Director level in the December payroll (on or around 16 December, so the payment will be with you before Christmas). This payment is to help our less senior staff to offset some of the increased costs of living, particularly energy costs and mortgage rates. Our HR team will contact relevant employees with full details.
Now i'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth but as I work for an investment firm, I doubt there are many of us 'less senior staff'' that are on the breadline. It's the sort of email that you would hope cleaners, McDonalds workers, nurses etc would receive but I bet they don't.
Anyway, I have no idea what the amount will be but would guess at £1k before tax and I will treat the boy and then give money to my favourite charities.
