Anglian Queen Sacked

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Alison Prowse Piper, who apparently goes by the moniker ‘Queen of Double Glazing,’  has  won her claim that she suffered sex discrimination, sexual harassment and unfair dismissal.  Piper, who worked for double glazing giant, Anglian Home Improvements, claimed that, after taking maternity leave twice in 14 months, she felt ‘ostracised’ and her pay was cut by more than half to £30,000.

Now, I can’t comment on the case per se - I wouldn’t know Ms Prowse if she came up to me and offered free double glazing - but the story underlines the point I’ve been making about how sales people’s salaries and commissions inflate the price of your home improvements.

At one point, Her Illustrious Majesty was a national manager of Anglian Home Improvements telecanvassing department, commanding a £72,500 annual salary for a three-day week.

I rest my case.

Oh, and here’s some honest pricing!
