As the old bt boys get a rise twice a year or something like that, was curious what sort of frequency our rises would be? Just wondering what to expect long term!

I start 29th September at Yarnfield (spoke to you on this thread about 3 weeks ago) - I ended up ringing up to double check they got my email saying I accepted the job, they said it's all good and I'm down as accepted, have they contacted you since? They said on the phone I'll get more info nearer my start date

[tre999]

[bacon893]
