unfortunately Bosses like First know they have you over a barrel - With James not working I'm the bread-winner and I can't afford to jump ships to another job especially with the economy etc. I fully understand the 'work ethic' but not when employers are using it as stick to beat down the workers - workers in Britian aren't lazy, we are pressurised, we are overworked, we are sick and tired and underpaid as well as under-respected for the work that we do. So is it any wonder you get a few who say 'fuck it!' and ride the system after all aren't we all a little tired of being rode by the system and the bosses!

but standing by one another is the best, most important thing people can do.
It's not always fun (though it can be!) but it is important. You and Mr maiden'll be OK. You're not alone. There are millions of hearts out there. And they're not all in the ribcages of property developers.
