My brother's work put them into about 7 teams which were just picked randomly. There are about 70 people that work there. Today 5 teams got taken into the office and told that there roles were changing, nothing that challenging, something that my brother would be keen to do. And they would be getting a £4000 pay increase. So 50 out of 70 people in an Office received this while 20 did not. My brother actually used to be in one of the Teams thats roles were changed. What would you do?

Let my brother deal with it on his own. He's an adult, let him work it out.

Something doesn't seem right, 50 picked randomly and then each given a £4000 rise, that's a huge increase and for 50 people? If their roles are changing they would all obviously need new contracts etc., No just doesn't seem right! Get your brother to tell you the whole story.

There are a lot of factors involved here you do not go into. Are the people being given more responsibility? More work? Maybe its work that is a little more hazardous then the other 20? All of those things would certainly warrant an increase in salary. As for determining the teams, I'm sure there must be some method to how they did things.

You put up with it - or get a new job. If the company had interviewed 70 people to pick 50 for new jobs, there wouldn't have been enough money to give everyone with new responsibilites pay rises.
Also, are you sure the teams were random? Perhaps they were selected in a way which your brother thought was random.

Firstly, remember what it says in the bible- "am I my bother's keeper?". Let him sort out his own employment problems. He may be colouring the story without realising it, the reality may be different.
Secondly, your brother- if all this is true- works for a bunch of a rseholes. Sorry, but there you have it.
Thirdly , the 20 who did not get the pay increase had better watch out- they are liable to be sacked the week before christmas, judging by how insensitive THIS company appears.

It seems a bizarre way to promote someone... to do it on the luck of the draw rather than on merit or ability. I would be amazed if my company ever did this and offered such a large increase. Tell your brother to speak to his boss though I must admit to being sceptical on this one.

I would go to my boss and explain that I felt that I could do the job that the other people were willing to do and if he would give me a chance I would work harder than anyone else. If he won't budge, he won't budge, if he will, you lucked out. But you can't always decide when you get to be promoted and when you don't.

this seem s like a pretty annoying situation. i suggest he should express his annoyance at the random nature of the allocation, considering he particularly would have liked to do it. He should then volunteer himself for any post that may come up in the future.
bad luck.

this sounds like some kind of game.
or it could be that the other teams' performance was different.
some information missing here.

Go to my superior and ask how the end result was reached, why I hadn't been included and that I felt it was discrimination.
