That's something I guess, but it's stil pants.

even a frozen DB pension is preferable to a dormant DC pot
Assuming you have a DC scheme available to take over, it's AOK. Also, non contributory DB scheme and you're complaining? Fucking hell, that's some cheek.

How is it?
When I started in 1995, it was part of the package. Now it's been cut to fuck and we've had no say in it. I don't see how that's cheek.

In fact - correction, we did have a say in it. We were 'consulted', thusly:

Them: Would you mind awfully if we cut your pensions to fuck?
Entire staff: Yes, we very much fucking well would.
Them: Oh, sozzers everyone. :'((((

you weren't paying in to it.
Therefore the guaranteed benefits available from it are worth way more than if you hadn't had any pension in place.

Yes I understand the principles of a non-contributary final salary scheme
But if I was initially promised 'x' and I'm actually going to end up with much less than 'x' then that's shit, isn't it?

You really shouldn't take any notice of a photo copying clerk in a firm of financial advisors.
No doubt he's ok at choosing between the A3 and the A4, portrait or landscape, but your retirement? I wouldn't.

He seems to be having difficulty understanding why I met be feeling slightly aggrieved, so I suspect that you may be correct.

it is a poor show, but not the end of the world.
You haven't been financially disadvantaged. Quite the opposite in fact. Look on the bright side, you have a guaranteed income in retirement. Most people don't.

Be quiet. Stop claiming to know something that your employers know, but you don't.

I know because I have to know.
