Can someone explain how this thread is useful? Most people know what the Ts and Cs are at major carriers and if you don't just look on PPJN.
|
I also fail to see the point. What is happening with all this when it is there ? As a reference document it is totally useless. Because of its location it is valueless without context.
|
If you have nothing to contribute, then just ignore it. :ok:
I find it interesting. |
Enzo, I have been using PPJN for over a decade, and whilst it's good to satisfy that odd bit of curiosity, it mostly contains outdated and insignificant information.
This thread will highlight the realities particularly around take home pay and perceptions of those who are employed. What might improve it a little is if we can all also contribute with a bit of free text and not be constrained by the format too much. Because of its location it is valueless without context. |
Great thread, finding it extremely interesting also!!!
