Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

They are mad fools V'rap.

I too have the issues with touching savings and lumpsums, but am getting used to the idea that it is there to be spent 😅

Not quite, Pix. If they meet my very reasonable and specific conditions with immediate effect I will stay, because I really enjoy acute primary care work.

They'd be on probation, though. I have trust issues after some of the shite I was told yesterday.

I'd love to say I understand both the question and the answer and can apply both to my own circumstances, but I can't.


Me too.

Again I’ve always been a bit of a saver and think I would take ill if I thought that had to stop hence the reason I would rent out my house until it was absolutely necessary to sell it (fingers crossed that won’t happen) cause that’s the money I use to top up my savings.

What’s the verdict V’rap - will you stay or will you go?

I think I've gone :-O Not a peep from management today, which is entirely in keeping with their attitude to the clinical staff. Once I'm sure I've gone, I'll open a sweepstake on how long it'll take for me to fall into another job.
