Most importantly I want to point out that my current employer, who I joined in September, takes a respectful and supportive approach to his employees and to myself as his employee.
Not only does he pay above the
Minimum Income Standard in the UK 2015, as recommended by the
Joseph Rowntree Foundation (which is different to the minimum wage and poverty line), for myself and my colleagues, but he has actively and patiently listened to all our views on work, our needs, skills and salaries. Across the board – from senior staff to part-time casual staff – this approach is a paragon of how to keep employees happy and healthy at work. And I'm very happy with my current working situation.
The article in
The Telegraph empathises with those who will find themselves in difficulty following the cuts, because I
have been in that situation. This is not in any way a reflection on my current employer.
I am now – thanks to full time work and a respectful salary – able to find my way back out of previous financial difficulties.
