They are penny pinching at W works cos of the recession, they are changing her hours to reflect the time she can get to work. At the outset she let them know she could only get to work at 8.15 instead of 8.00am cos she has to drop D7 off at breakfast club before school. Also they won't pay her car mileage from home to the site she's based at, they will only pay when she drives from site to site. They didn't make this clear in the beginning and now nearly two years into the job they are questioning it. Anyway I told just to get into work and keep her head down.
My works has just announce job cuts, we're gonna lose 60 out of 230 people, I think I'm safe but for those who manage to keep their jobs they will face a 15 - 20% pay cut based on reduced working hours. So this year is gonna be really tough.
FIL has just started his chemo, the cancer is slow growing so the docs are hoping 6 months of chemo will clear it up. W and I are taking him and MIL to the lakes district Easter Monday to cheer him up. So I'm looking forward to a nice weekend break.
