If you read my post carefully, you will realise that I no longer work for QP. 'Grades' are simply a means used by QP to confuse potential employees, because of course you, as a potential employee, are not fully aware of the status accorded to each grade!

In my experience QP are not honest and they have little or no regard for the welfare of their employees. They need to recruit people, but having once recruited them, they hold them strictly to the terms of their contract without regard to the ever increasing cost of living and accomodation.

If they, as the employer, don't care about your welfare and problems as an employee, how can they expect full committment from you when it comes to doing the job which you were engaged to do?
