    Yeah, I was there throughout covid…so May 2020 til the first day of 2021 when they say “don’t need you anymore …k thanks bye”. I’ve had some crap jobs, but that’s the only one where I’ve not even been able to face over time. The pick rate for “heavy stuff” was 35 an hour, arguably even worse.

    As for now, I’ve got some electrical qualifications, so I did some short term site work, then found a maintenance role working for the NHS, with a literal one in a million boss…”I trust you to think for yourself but I’m here if you need me”.

    Thank you for asking.

      My pleasure, and I’m glad to hear you’ve found greener pastures.
