That's nonsense. I know of virtually no-one who has received above-inflation pay rise and the only ones that come to mind are unionised. I have no idea where this comes from but there is no magical dividing line where pay settlements mysteriously get better even within the same company once one goes south of Watford.
There's no way people would tolerate a pay freeze for years on end, unprecedented.
