Sheep Guts - an ex girlfriend of mine that worked for Virgin Atlantic and was given a free Christmas party each year remarked that she would gladly give it all away and pay for it if she was paid a half reasonable wage!
In her inimitable words "having Richard Branson making passes at you and carrying on like a drunken pratt and making out he is so cool and a great guy just didnt cut it with me".
She enjoyed the work but in order to live closer to London she had to resign and work for BA on something like 35% more money.
Good on her, she didnt whinge and bitch about being overworked and underpaid but quietly applied to BA and was accepted.
Now she can afford to be closer to her family which is a big thing to some people.
