You are at their whim, QF purgatory.
The solution is so simple: tag and release. Give internals a start date, do 1 day of induction then onto LWOP back to the internal company for X amount of years so they can catch up on recruitment. Nobody would care provided they weren't made to remain at the internal for 5+ years. Makes far more sense than losing a known quantity to the USA or the Middle East.
It is so cruel what they’re doing to their internals, I’m actually surprised it is not talked about more on here. Unfortunately nothing will change too unless numbers leave in droves - like in 2016 to the UAE. Not to worry though, let's not forget that the company's going to make everything right by offering a ‘Letter of Assurance’. Hopefully it'll be soft, 3 ply, absorbent, and have little seashell patterns on it.
