I worked in HMCE/HMRC for 7 years and barely made 15,000 a year. In fact a massive amount of people there make between 15-17,000 a year. There is a cabal of overpaid uslesss muppets at HMRC senior managment level but most people worked their assess of for a salary your not going to have the time of your life on.

The apparent settlement was in 2008, so it was actually the last Labour government who was happy.

Jo...Industrial action is unlikely to be effective.<br /><br />Joe Public detests overpaid, underworked gold plated pension provided civil servants.<br />The reality of the issues being somewhat different is of no interest to the public whatsoever, and by the time the effects of the closures and job losses are understood and felt it will be too late.<br />Whilst some of the staff will be 2nd income earners on term time contracts or pre retirement reduced or part-time contracts there will be many who are single salary earners for whom the thought of re-entering the job market after 20 years or more at or near retirement age will be faced with a mixture of trepidation and fear. Remember, most people entered the civil service for job security and accepted a lesser salary by comparison for doing so. <br />Still, PCS should be OK though, can always sell off their multi-million London HQ for a mega Bucks, Yen or Shekels or even Euro's in a few years if their salaries look iffy? Negotiate a sweetheart deal with the taxman and fly off to a tax haven in retirement on those salaries and capital gains on the property!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
