Hi,
I was hoping someone could offer me some advice.
I work for a bank and have recently been restructured into a role at a lower grade. This is my third such restructure and even before the last one, I was on quite a high salary based on the level I reached before the first one.....
Each time they can't take any salary off me and over the past 3 years I've applied for loads of roles at my original grade and a few 'lateral' moves at my previous grade.
My job is not very fulfilling and I want to keep my career going.
This latest restructure represented an opportunity to make a lateral move at the new level into a new area and I applied for a role in another division and was offered the job.
Usually with a lateral move you get a payrise but I was not expecting one given I am over the scale.
I was over the moon but when the hiring manager asked if the standard payrise was acceptable, I said I didn't think I would qualify due to where I was at and he said he hadn't checked with HR what my salary was so I told him. He said he would need to refer.
He came back to me last week and said the offer still stands but I would need to come down to the maximum of the pay range for the role which is a pay cut of over £6000. I really can't afford to do that but didn't want to just say no.
The union said that it was unfair that the company could put me into a role and in effect leave me trapped in it and I wondered if there was anyone in a similar environment that could offer some pearls of wisdom?
I've been on holiday so I will ring HR myself tomorrow and see where I stand in my current role on my salary. When the restructure was announced it was made clear our salaries were protected.
I do need a change but not at such a high cost when my mortgage etc is based on my current salary.
