What is considered a lot of time off work?
Something i was wondering about yesterday. I remember reading on a website, might've been this one i'm not sure, but someone said that 3-4 days a year was a lot & it was sort of a blanket statement.

Job completely different to the advertised job description. Being underpaid by £10ph
I applied for a contracted role, via an agency, for a job that is a few notches below what I was doing previously - I wanted something easier and less stressful to return to the workplace following long-term absence in the past (mental health).
