Feel exactly the same. It is horrible going in not knowing where you'll be working. Every day a new partner, making it impossible to plan your day, how you'll manage dinner or if you'll finish on time.

Normally put where the fires are.
I'm turning purple!

And if the payrise we get isn't a significant one, then we'll be basically on par

I agree that a pay rise would be very welcome but to say we'll be on par
without a significant rise is a bit of a stretch.

Our 18+ rate after 12 months 12.77 or thereabouts now compared with
NLW for 23yo of 8.91 (now) a 30% difference, then 9.50 from April, a 25% difference.

That's also without any RM pension contributions included.
