Here we go again, companies are starting to cut wages? With inflation pressure so high, they still cut salaries—are workers always going to be at the bottom?

Haha, even the British bosses are starting to be stingy now, lowering wage increase expectations. I knew it—when the economy is unstable, they start cutting employees first.

Well, now companies will have to tighten their belts as well; salary increases will be held back again.

Wage growth slowing down? Uh... doesn't that mean employees are going to be exploited?

UK companies are starting to be "stingy" again, with salary increase expectations being slashed drastically. Basically, they are still scared by inflation and interest rates.

Here we go again, are the UK bosses starting to cut salaries? I saw it coming long ago; no one can withstand this devilish thing called inflation.

Coming back with the same story? UK companies are tightening wage expectations, honestly, it's just everyone being stingy, hiding behind the banner of "economic uncertainty."
