Some offices have been told how many VR's they're getting if any, others haven't yet. It presumably depends on how far down the revision road they are?

Based on posts on here and a conversation I had with our area rep, it's seniority.

Yeah lots of people did!

Told by numerous managers they wanted thirty VR’s in Cardiff MC, all thirty gone and realignment completed by the end of January. Me personally I think they’ll go straight to CR’s and Thompson will blame us due to industrial action.

It would depend on how many jobs they will lose in a revision.
If they are currently 3 short but a proposed revision will remove 5 jobs, then that leaves 2 surplus and consequently 2 VRs available.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Some offices have been told how many VR's they're getting if any, others haven't yet. It presumably depends on how far down the revision road they are?

Yeah lots of people did!
Overheard a conversation in our office between DOM and local Post Office owner, they didn’t know I was sat in my van, where the tw*t of a DOM was saying that there’ll be no VR as the company want to get rid via compulsory redundancy of those staff with the highest sickness absences, the most disciplinary situations, and those who don’t make themselves available to do overtime. After hearing all this, I got out of the van, walked past them and the DOM sheepishly said, I didn’t realise you were still here! I don’t know if what he said is true or not, but with this rotten company nothing would surprise me anymore…..
