After an evening of a little research (drinking in pub and ringing around) it was interesting to find out about said company that many of the supervisors and office staff had in fact been promoted or trained into their roles and their salaries were on a par with all the other units in the region. As for career progression, its a company of limited size (a medium sized unit) therefore opportunities to 'climb the ladder' are very limited by this very nature... its not a corporation. But this is true in most units aside from OxWexMol.
I think alot of the critics on this thread need to have a sense of perspective and stop grinding their axes. Because if someone is getting paid 20K just to writh DBAs they're either overpaid or underused. We'd all like to see wages go up but we can't get to idealistic - these wages are within the IFA levels and (just) the BAJR levels therefore fit with the industry. If you get the IFA levels increased the RAOs, including this company will ahve to raise wages. Such improvements have to apply to the industry not just be lobbied at individual units.
