    Hours?

    Apparently doing a 37.5 hour week but the hours are 8:30 to 5. Even with half an hour lunch this is an insult to basic arithmetic. Anyone care to explain?


    No direction&control quips please.
    B00med!

    Er, try taking an hour for lunch. That should then work out fine.

        Did you not negotiate a 30 minute breakfast clause then?
        If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

          in true Viz style:

          -begin a severe smoking habit, an easy and legitimate way to waste a few hrs a day..
          -eat rotten meat or fish to ensure your in trap 3 rather than at your desk
          -develop sudden fits of mild epilepsy or narcolepsy and also enjoy the benefits of having a sleep while being paid
