Over 50s

[comeracing]

Think over 50s should get offered 12 months vr , I'm 53 body is knackered, I'd certainly take it and move onto pastures new .

Age being a protected characteristic something like that would be unlawful. It will be and should remain seniority based.

Id imagine you would be killed in the stampede ,it would be like a lifeboat on the titanic

Clearly the humans running the business have no conscience or duty of care towards delivery staff..
Clearly heartless and souless...

The elites and the establishment are just Clearly animals that feed off their own gain..

They should look at making walks easier for over 50s. Even if was to take an hour off the outdoor part and you get an hour less pay.

I don't understand the obsession with age, some of our over 50s are fitter than people much younger than them. And as has already been said, seniority rules.

Exactly.

Someone could be in their late forties with 30 years of wear and tear doing the job, but someone 53 with 20 years service gets VR first?

[norris9]

Someone that's 54 that has done 3 years service gets a 1 year redundancy pay off over someone who is 48 who has done 30 years service....

this is a crazy idea.

People need to start getting realistic with VR's.
If the office you work is understaffed it isn't happening which I reckon is about 99%.

Agreed.
I thought the ODM was a predominantly full time model.
If part timers are being made up to full time then I thought it was impossible to justify any VRs in the unit?

[hewittinspain]

You seriously think VR will be offered?
We are overstaffed and have just shipped some of our newer starters to an office that is understaffed. When changes happen we will have the correct number of staff and there will be no need for VR.
Expect staff to be shifted to another office to even things out

[SMS1969]

There won’t be any VR’s, there will be enough people leaving when the changes come in. If you want a pay off, go sick for six months, then leave. That’s the best you’ll get.

[comeracing]

Yes I know seniority rules and as I stated I'm 53 , but done the job in delivery 30 years, ffs just give me a years vr ,this company is heading the same way as the titanic

[theotherone]

People seem to be pinning all of their hopes on getting out on VR with £££'s, it's a pipe dream.
The lucky ones ( if that is the right word) are who have been able to get on IHR.

It's been like that for at least the last 20 years, where have you been?
