I work for an independant government body and things are worse - our pay has been frozen for last 2 years and probably this coming year (this adds up to about 11% pay drop), pensionable age upped from 65 to 67 and will probably reach 70 by the time I get there, employer pension contributions reduced. Also experiencing major frustration caused by the internal IT being outsourced, everything now costs much more to get done and is implemented in extreme slow-motion.

Probably time for a change.
