Cambridge in a nutshell (seen on a lorry by the market place).

Virgin Media just informed me that my internet bill will go up by a whooping 17% this year. Not just that but in the future they will increase prices by inflation* plus additional 3.9% every year.

For reference: academic in the have consistently been "raised" below . Today, a postdoc makes 17% less money than in 2010 (what a fun coincident). At the same time average UK wages have ~ kept up with inflation.

And don't even get me started on the USS pension scheme...

Fun times to be in ! :picardfacepalm:

* of course any negative inflation (i.e. deflation) would explicitly not be passed on to customers

Data:
- academic salaries via hr.admin.cam.ac.uk/pay-benefit
- CPI (consumer price inflation) and average weekly wages from ons.gov.uk
