Seniority rules the roost, this could mean the vast majority will be over 50 but that won’t be the first consideration.

I’ve heard it’s aimed at under 50s as Royal Mail know the oldies will leave by choice eventually :dance

I've heard it is aimed at people who are exactly 50 to limit the number of applicants.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Im sure the VRs in 2012 I think it was - when park and loop came in - were specifically for the over 50s so its not always just seniority
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

It was around 2008 at our DO. Same time we got the so called 'colleague shares' or whatever that sham was lol. The VR guys got to cash them in as well as the 24 months VR payment. We got nothing.

Martin Walsh has posted on this forum that VRs wont necessarily be done on seniority

he cited the example above - it might have been 2008 as stated by LB - as precedent
