    Surgeons earn between £80000 - £100000 per year. Call centre people earn £12000 - £18000 per year. Slight difference there.

    Are any of the naysayers on this thread a member of a union? Or are you a bunch of scabs? (for a quick reference on scabs and union members, watch Billy Elliott)

    I think we get our info from legitimate sources; rather than the world of fiction.

    Sorry; they are entitled to a 20 minute break if they work over 6 hours. Whether it is paid or not is down to the company.

    It seems the WTR on breaks have either changed since I worked in HR or I got it completely wrong in the first place.

    Union member all my life, thank you very much.
  • I lasted 4 years. I was drawn in to believe HR was an intermediary between management and staff; people champions as they like to call themselves. In reality HR (in my experience) are a bunch of minions willing to do anything to keep their own jobs, and screw everyone else.

    HR are there to protect the company from litigation. That's their job. Anyone who thinks otherwise is misguided.
