The Lunn Poly employee currently distributing CVs thinks that things are bad at UK’s number one – well, not nearly as bad as at Going Places.
Most of our shops are understaffed, putting pressure on shop staff.
Performance-related pay would mean that if a Lunn Poly consultant earns ú10,000 they would need to bring in around ú500,000 in sales to earn the same pay at Going Places, and would have to increase their sales by at least a furtherú25,000 to obtain a pay rise. So who is better off?
Also, performance-related pay means that effectively we don’t get paid for being onholiday. A nil sales report for that time makes it impossible to create any impact on our salaries.
Most people Iknow who work for Lunn Poly go on at least one educational a year – more than they would get working at Going Places, where you are lucky to get one at all.
Maybe some people are not as hard done by as they think. A pay rise at 5.5% is higher than the national average.
