It seems to me, and please I don't not mean this as an insult to anyone
that a lot of people in this business try to argue themselves out of a job. It is like work is something to fit inbetween everyday routine if you have time.
I always expect to have to give the company a full day to the max, because that is my job.
If it works out that I get home early then I treat it is a pleasant surprise and it makes the job feel more positive.
At the 'lower end of the market' we have to expect to be messed around somewhat and your 'company ' is only trying to stay in business and keep you in a job in what are very difficult circumstances at the moment.
Personally, as an employer, if people moaned when the going was tough, they would be last on the list of 'rewards' when the company prospects improved and first out of the door.
Anyone got a ladder? my soapbox is taller that I first thought
