To be absolutely furious

I work for a big company. Beginning of October we are told about a contract restructuring, higher basic + more attractive bonus package. Just received my pay and it’s exactly the same so I think ok maybe it’s not going to be in this months pay however work gossip goes around about how pleased everyone is with their pay packet it seems everyone else has received the pay rise plus back pay from 1st October plus a nice bonus it seems I am the only one in my section who hasn’t received it ( I have worked here 16 years)
I emailed payroll they say line manager will have to contact hr to see what has happened and it will reflect in next pay check.
just feel really crap I swear it always feels like this sort of thing happens to me we got new I pads a few weeks ago and mine keeps crashing and wiping the apps.
i am just venting hopefully it gets sorted for next month but would of been nice to have to get ready for Christmas.
also manager is off for 2 weeks so worrying about when it will get sorted

Something similar happened to me and I was raging, because everyone else was spending like mad and having the best time with the additional money. It did get sorted out eventually but I can understand how you feel.

OP take a breath it could just be a crappy admin oversight or error. No one is targeting you necessarily.

Thank you that’s just it having to listen to everyone crowing about it, I know it will get sorted but bloody annoying

The best bit is that your next pay will enable you to head off spending - just in time for sales and a break over Christmas and new year. I would see that as a win...

If you're relying on it for Christmas and your line manager is away, then speak to his boss or HR directly.

It's annoying but not worth getting furious about, and I'm sure they'll be able to rectify it before payroll if you raise it ASAP. I doubt they've given you a dodgy iPad on purpose either 😅

Thanks you’re right I will go to my area manager tomorrow it’s just frustrating because 4 years ago I was due a personal pay rise and that took 3 months for them to sort out it feels like someone has it in for me 🤣

Furious is a bit over the top, it’s just an admin/payroll error that they’ll sort for next month, it’s not like they’re singling you out not to get a bonus.

I understand op, any change or new system always seems to affect certain people again and again, it does get rather annoying.
