I did wonder when in the interview the actual lack of information about the role, I asked got minimal info then the subject got changed, add to that the pay was actually £1 per hour less than advertised and when I challenged this I got told that role was taken. I am happy to be working again but can't help but feel like I've been had a bit.

Did you raise this bit with the agency (advertising the job) at the time, after the interview?

I am down £300 per month compared to the job advertised, I would call that quite significant.

43 hours per week instead of 40 advertised with a clause in the contract about over time meaning I am averaging 47 hours per week.

I can see why they miss advertised the job, no one would apply if they didn't, If I get sacked I get sacked, I am really past caring at this stage I am so !!!!!! off.

some advice I would like to give....

1. If your really that unhappy with your job you should not stay...but...
2. Don't just quit - tell your boss why you are unhappy and thinking off leaving.
you will be surprised at how often this works... your employer does not want to spend time and money filling your vacancy! (especially to an agency - bosses HATE agencies).
3. don't leave until you get another job. People with employment are 80% more likely to get a job than the unemployed. you are still entitled to job hunt or even try other agencies while in full employment. (ok I know this is too obvious but I know people who feel a strange loyalty to a company that is treating them like dog poo..... almost like Stockholm syndrome
4. if it comes to the crunch leave in such a way that you can claim benefits immediately.... I'm not sure how this bit works but in some circumstances you cannot make a jobseeker claim. I think its if you walk out.... but Google for this information. unless some other forumite has info on this.
its obvious that your really unhappy there, so try keep yer chin up me ol cocksparra.
Let us know how you get on.....

That mounts up you know. 40 hours say @ £1.51 is £261 gross a month LESS or £3140 less on your annual salary.

I know it does. I've been had big time, I actually do 43 hours per week, and if you include overtime etc 47 hours per week its worse again.

I think I am gonna try this tomorrow, it'll either work or it won't, If not I'll be making it clear that I'll be getting out at the first opportunity.

Be wary as you have said in previous threads that the gaffer has a pile of cv's which he can choose from, he may just take you up on your ultimatum.

Well at that rate he is getting rid of me, if he does I should be entitled to JSA again.
