Sometimes. Only some people get proper sick pay.
Based on data from 10 people who took the Breakroom Quiz between May 2020 and June 2022.
Everyone gets sick sometimes. You should be able to take time off without worrying.
At a good job you should still get paid if you’re scheduled to work but can’t due to sickness. Your contract should say how many sick days you can take each year.
This is more than the legal minimum, which says you should only get paid if you are unwell for 4 full days. See Citizens Advice for more details.

A good job should let you take time off when you need it, and it shouldn’t be a nightmare to arrange.
Most people got enough training when they started.
Based on data from 11 people who took the Breakroom Quiz between May 2020 and June 2022.
A good job should give you good training when you start, not just drop you in at the deep end.

Most people get proper breaks.

Based on data from 11 people who took the Breakroom Quiz between May 2020 and June 2022.

Most people think head office doesn’t understand what’s happening where they work.
Based on data from 10 people who took the Breakroom Quiz between May 2020 and June 2022.
At a good job, the role of head office should be to support the people on the frontline serving customers.

Just the brand
Everything is ridiculous. Excessive pressure to work at an unreasonable pace and no communication about whats actually happening in the company. False promises and lies about being able to progress. None of the middle management have any idea on how to actually run a manufacturing factory.
