Disgusting isn't it?
Jesus wept.
the owners of the company (a golf course) I worked with for 15 years are dutch and they are both multi millionaires and people are just items that can be replaced at their whim - they are big businessmen in holland with a big staff turnover - it seems that workers are considered the lowest of the low
my present company is owned by a youngish couple with three and a half (i'm the half) employees - they are trying to make a go of it and everyone is trying to help them make a success of it - good luck to them and thank you for giving me opportunity to work.

I don't particularly like my job right now( I have been there 18 years) . But as the firm is struggling a bit people have to help out where they can . Either that or face the harsh reality that they could be unemployed soon . Much better in my opinion to try keep the ship afloat . They have helped me through some tough times . It is only fair that I should do something to repay them .

I wonder if we'll have a statement at PMQs congratulating the workers of this country for doing their bit in these hard times?
There would be a point to this thread if those agreeing calendar monthly pay contracts with their employers had been unaware at the time that every 4 years there's a leap year, but I think for the majority, it won't come as a shock.

There would be no argument if the 29th Feb fell on a weekend.
