I thought JDW’s was generally regarded as a good employer, albeit one who pays low wages. Have I picked up the wrong end of the stick on this?
No you haven't, you have the right end of the stick. My partner works for JDW and they pay above minimum wage for even basic jobs and offer a good promotion path for those who want to stay in the trade and have the ambition to become managers - first at individual pub level then up to regional if you're good enough.
In my book those two statements directly contradict each other.
Sadly we probably now are at the point where not treating your workforce like sh*t is something to crow about rather than being the basic standard expected of every employer.
I'm assuming your post was referencing 'low wages' - but given that bar tendering is a low skilled job, what would you expect wages to be? JDW pay above minimum wage, I bet your local doesn't!
