I can only assume you have worked for RM for a short time. Over time your opinion may well change. If you stay in for 20 years or more i doubt you will feel so great about RM. Its a feeling that builds up over the years prob due to a general lack of respect that many people hold both inside and more importantly outside for the job. :sad:
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

I'm not doubting you, I'm just interested in how many hours you worked to take home £383 (so I can see where I'm going wrong!)

Your wages does not add up, you have to work 40 hours per week before you get paid overtime rates or SA rates.
