No rise for me this year, apparently some people will get one but I had 'a big rise' in APRIL last year so I get nothing. I actually got promoted which I think is different but what can you do? I've been told my company isn't expecting to expand this year but at the same time not shrink/lose any contracts. I don't know a great deal about the financial market but I've been told the bank I'm working at won't suffer as much as its privately owned.

The biggest difference I've noticed is the investment bankers don't get fresh bagels anymore! (Which were very tasty

)

I just discovered I don't have unemployment cover on my mortgage. Not that I'm expecting it but oof. I'm not sure I even want to know how much that'll cost to add given the current climate.

Edit - Unemployment cover isn't on the same policy as the life cover, it's on a different one. Phew.
