Hi there, We're very sorry to hear that you don't feel fairly compensated. We thought it might be helpful to clarify our approach to pay-rises. We have given all colleagues an annual pay rise over the past few years which on average has been in-line with inflation. In addition to this we provide 'exceptional' payrises on a monthly basis to colleagues where it is deserved to reflect progression on an individual level. If you believe you should be considered for an individual pay rise and would like to expand the discussion beyond your direct line manager please contact us in the People team at ThePeopleTeam@futurenet.com and we can help to support the discussion. We'd also like to clarify in terms of location, a large part of our recruitment strategy at the moment is focused on Cardiff in the UK and Atlanta in the US as you rightly point out we want colleagues to have the option of living in lower-cost locations outside of major cities like London. Given you are a remote worker we would encourage you to share your feedback directly with us at ThePeopleTeam@futurenet.com so that we can incorporate it into the actions & next steps from the Engagement survey to try to make sure that all colleagues feel supported by and connected to the organisation.
