Pay rise announcement is a joke

Every pay rise I've had during my time I've at Sainsbury's has inched the rate closer and closer to minimum wage but this time takes the piss completely.

With minimum wage going up to £12.21, the new rate of £12.45 will put us just over by 24p. Not sure what the two phase raise is meant to accomplish - maybe an attempt to trick the gullible into thinking two miniscule raises are better than one tiny one?

When we striking? J/k, handing my notice in asap
