There are 5 or 6 grades, let's call them A to F. The top 5% of senior management have 3 of those. Go figure.
Most non entry level type staff will be in something like D or E. This means 80% of staff have literally no room for progression as one grade covers what used to be about 7 pay and skill grades that maybe took 20 years to move in. Your manager /more experienced colleague/former boss's boss is now all at the same level.
Happen to get a promotion and you have new, worse terms contract to sign.
