Trying not to be rude,OLD, but that is a very simplistic view. It really is not easy to walk out of job, people will put up with huge amounts of cr@p, because they like the type of work, kids are settled at school, dont want to leave an area, cant find another job, havent yet got the hours etc etc.
And often there is a loyalty to colleagues and friend, and people develop this odd siege mentality, we can take anything you throw at us!.
However, it is clear that the tide is turning, there is huge anger and bitterness which is going to explode, and hopefully, sweep away the management aberrations currently in charge.
And huge congratulations to REPA
