Well we are a small workforce in our branch but most of the time a happy one. The cut was across the whole board, employees, managers and executives alike in every branch. I'm 2 miles from home so can easily walk or cycle there, (weather permitting

), and often get to do some driving which I enjoy. I'm also able to diversify my skills by doing other trades around the branch such as in house maintenance, yearly equipment inspection etc and am now a H&S rep for the branch so get consulted on ways to improve things.
Other firms in the same line of work are paying more, (not much but a bit), but because it is a specialised trade, (rewinding side anyway), and there is a recession still on there are not many places taking on.
So all in all I'm quite happy but a bit more money wouldn't go amiss.
