    9/10

  • 4. How valued do you feel by Fujitsu?
  • I have gone far beyond my job description to deliver solutions to things when none exists. And now i feel a bit used in that I save the company thousands but they are not paying me any more, nor does it look like they will offer me a permanent job at the the end. Im tutoring other employees doing the same job for normal pay, and Im expected to do the same work as any non-apprentice else who started around the same time in the same role, but they get 10k more pay.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I did not require study or support for any of the exams. I had regular meetings and support from my advisor to complete the assignments. In work im the same as any non-apprentice in 1st line networks, not treated as an apprentice.

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • I does not. Sure I can afford to eat and travel to work, and thats all they care about. But I do the same work as people on proper salaries, and I would like to be able to afford a place to go after work besides my parents house.
