At least u get a pay rise, i been with my boss for 5 years and only had 1 pay rise of 5 % and it was only when she found out i was looking for another job.
Sometimes think i'd 'o been better off wage wise staying at Boots although i'd be worried abouut being made redundant.
I really hate my boss, i'm lucky myself and Andy get "discretional" sick pay. Everyone else gets nil, if we have a specified 3 months without absence we get £125, and if we go full year without time of we get a further £125.
I do believe Aldi and Lidl both pay the highest daytime wage rate although dont hold me to that i could be wrong i think its around £7.50 an hour but it is a lot harder to find employment with them
