Pat Hasler:
I have voiced my opinion on the wages in the UK many times. 27k is a disgustingly low wage. I have been out of the country for 18 years and before I left 27k would have been a low wage, The last year I worked for Fed Ex in the UK, 1994 I made more than that, the last job I did in the UK I made over 35K
I make $80k a year here which at tonight’s exchange rate is 60k and even I find it hard to get by. How on earth you men get along on such poor pay I will never understand ?
I make around £40k incl bonuses and o/t (trunking), could have been 50k at Sainsbury’s, but job hasn’t clicked with me. Mrs makes around 30k, so in total around 70k, for UK it’s fine. You could earn 1mil and complain you don’t earn enough.
